Nakambala’s Sweet Reign Continues

Share

Nakambala Leopards continued on their sweet run in the Faz Super Division after beating hosts Green Buffaloes in their Week 8 away game at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.

A 45th minute goal from Mundia Lubinda sealed team from Zambia’s Sugar capital Mazabuka.

Nakambala opened up a four-point lead on 19 points after eight matches and are unbeaten in their last three league games.

Red Arrows stay second after a 1-1 home draw with Power Dynamos.

Nchanga Rangers leaped into third place after a 1-0 away win at promoted Lime Hotspurs.

Limes defeat handed coach John “Butcher” Mwanza a bad start in his first game in charge after the Ndola side fired Tenant Chembo in midweek following a slow start to the season.

Meanwhile at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe, Nkana were lucky to get away with point after they were awarded a controversial penalty for an invisible handball.

Nkana took the lead in the 34th minute from the spot through Lameck Mwale but poetic justice was meted out almost immediately when Nkwazi equalized through Christopher Mulenga.

  1. Well done the sugar boys… But the most important thing is to kick away mosquitoes breeding in the canes. the town is being milked of its cane without tarring feed roads like the one running throw stage II and nkabika. Bury that dam between nkabika and zambia compound.

  2. Historically speaking for those who follow Zambian soccer, Nkwazi have always given Nkana tough games at “Pa Chilata” Nakambala have started well, however the question is” Will they maintain the momentum?”

  3. Good question Katonga in chingola.. may I give u tips. they can keep the same spirit if all their players will remain physical fit till the end of the season. Look at Chelsea (london club) they started well but due to injuries they were overtaken by Manchester unity. Hopeful this helps you.. knowledge is shared.. Old boys Munali Sec Sch -87
