Konkola Blades are the Week One leaders in the Faz Super Division after a 3-2 away win over promoted Nkwazi.

Blades usurp promoted Kalulushi Modern Stars, who beat Konkola Mine Police 2-0 on Saturday, from the top of the table on goal difference.

Brian Chewe put Blades ahead in the 12th minute at Edwin Emboela Stadium before Robert Tembo added the visitors second exactly 12 minutes later.

Keagan Phiri put Nkwazi back into the hunt in the 50th minute but Humphrey Kaseneko stretched Blades lead two minutes later.

Nkwazi’s consolation came in the 72nd minute through Stewart Chikandiwa.

Meanwhile, Green Buffaloes coach Patrick Phiri’ reunion with Napsa Stars who fired him last October ended in an uneventful scoreless draw at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.

However, Napsa striker Harry Milanzi put some shine on this otherwise dull affair with a sparkling performance and was later given a standing ovation after he was substituted 10 minutes from time.

If Blades won 3-2, and Kalulushi won 2-0, Kalulushi has better goal difference and therefore are on top.

  True. And even if Blades won by 3-1, Stars should still have been on top in a normal league standing that considers both the striking and the defending!

It’s great that premier league soccer is back to Independence Stadium, Kalulushi – and in the same old style of our team starting out the season on top of the table. Brings nice memories of the yesteryears! Of course the best known “cilata” is that of Nkana stadium, but some of us grew up to the raucous din of the Kalulushi cilata – a sure sign that Modern have scored in those heady 70s. Guys, try to stay on top up to the end of the season – let’s make history and bring the best glory to our little town the way the national team brought glory to the country in 2012!
