Nkana coach Zeddy Saileti has accused Kabwe referee Wisdom Chewe of spoiling Saturday’s Kitwe derby between his side and Power Dynamos.
A goal in each half from midfielder Emmanuel Chimpinde and winger Simon Bwalya propelled Power to a 2-0 win over Nkana at Arthur Davies Stadium.
The defeat seemed to be unbearable for Nkana fans who resorted to throwing missiles on the pitch in protest over some decisions made by Chewe.
In a post-match interview, Saileti said he was disappointed with the way the ref handled the fierce derby.
“We had an upper hand and you saw that our pressure almost paid off but when we got a penalty the ref clearly ignored it.The ref on several occasions failed to act but his assistants raised their flags and ended up changing their minds which was wrong.”
Power coach Beston Chambeshi said:”It was a difficult game, it was not easy. I am happy with the way Nkana played but you know a derby.”
Nkana lost 5-1 in the two team’s earlier meeting in May.
We al kno you nkana when you lose. you always blame referees and start violence. nokuwina kwenu is thru ifyongo. balimichenjesha. wel done power
But Zeddy was a good striker, gone are the days. Now he is becoming a good coach, as good as he was a coach-player in Finland. Zedddddy… what a miss …. another over-the-bar!! Zeeeedy another off-side.
Now Chipolopolo has no cloud puller, nobody, absolutely nobody.
But!Nastrodamus you are a clown.
I watched the game ! Nkana were denied a clear penalty after Kampamba was clearly hacked in the box when it was 1-0 ! However Nkana must accept referees decisions as final and move on ! Fan violence is not the answer !
that referee by the name of wisdom chewe once taught me physics from grade ten to eleven,i wonder now he is a referee.he cant teach it was too difficulty for him
POOR OFFICIATING!CHEWE IS A POOR REFERE.
Mulesumina fye nga mwalusa.
Don’t give up Zeddy! Go get ’em! Nkana all the way!
