Visiting DR Congo side St. Eloi Lupopo have been held to a 1-1 draw by FAZ Division One North outfit Kitwe United in a friendly played at Garden Park Staduim.
Lupopo have set up a week-long training camp in Kitwe ahead of their CAF Confederations Cup first round return match against South Africa’s Black Leopard next week.
Winger Jeremie Mumbere had given Lupopo a 39 minute lead before second half substitute Morris Siame equalised for the home side.
After Kitwe equalised the game became evenly ballanced as both sides pressed for a winning goal that never came
In the first half both sides used reserve players and only introduced regulars in the final half.
And after the game, Lupopo Zambian right back Osward Kalamba said The Buchi Boys has given his team a quality preparatory match as they seek to overturn the 4-2 loss they suffered in South Africa in the CAF Confederation Cup last Saturday.
“We have learnt something from this friendly.It was not an easy game Kitwe United played well”
Football is made in Kitwe! Nkana, Nkana, Nkana!
Good to hear my childhood team is still alive!
Good to hear the “Buchi Boys” could stand their own! Division 1 boys against a premier league club like lipopo! Its a mighty lesson for FAZ premier league clubs in the CAF Champions league(Power now, ZESCO and ZANACO Before)! Take a leaf Power 90! All is not lost! Jack up your socks! I was not at all amused by the performance at Arthur Davies stadium in the first leg.
