Share

Ten-men Nkana easily swept away promoted Kalulushi Modern Stars with a 2-0 victory on Saturday in Kitwe to assume leadership of the FAZ Super Division for at least 24 hours.

Striker Reynold Kampamba put Nkana in front after converting a 4th minute spot kick awarded by referee Jani Sikazwe.

As Nkana were celebrating the goal, Kalulushi coach Levy Chabala saw red for disputing Sikazwe’s decision to award the home team a penalty in this Week Three fixture.

Two minutes after the restart, striker Festus Mbewe stretched Nkana’s lead with a headed goal.

This was Mbewe’s third goal in three matches so far in the season.

Nkana top the Super Division on nine points ahead of unbeaten Konkola Blades date on Sunday with Zesco United in a doubleheader at Nchanga Stadium on Sunday.

Blades have six points from heading into their third league game of the season.

Meanwhile in the early kick-off at Nkana Stadium, Ndola Lime collected their first point after battling to a 2-2 draw with Green Buffaloes.

Lime skipper Lameck Kafwaya grabbed a brace while Stephen Kabamba and Kennedy Chola scored for Buffaloes.

  1. Cant wait for worriors to start winning week in week out.sorry worriors for drawing.lusaka times start giving us the league table on a weekly basis.not just results.

  2. Kabwe Warriors had to come from behind to force a draw at home with Red Arrows in the game played before an impressive crowd.Although Arrows looked a livelier side with their short passing game they had nothing to show for unfil the second half when they scored after a slick build up. For Warriors though its still work in progress. They scored a penalty converted by veteran defender Kampamba after Munyau was adjudged to have pulled a striker in the box. Warriors have four points after losing to Zesco, drawning against Arrows and a win against Power Dynamos.
    Is Renard seriously looking for talent? In this particular game Musakanya of Red Arrows was, without doubt, man of the match. His ball contol, passing, dribbling and vision on the ball make him ripe for the senior national.

  3. @No 3, Rangers played on Sunday against Roan. What was postponed was the Zanaco game because of Zanaco’s international involvement. Rangers won 4-1.
