Nkana suffer first league defeat

Nkana suffered their first league defeat of the season today after losing 1-0 away to Napsa Stars.

The 2013 league pacesetters where stunned by a 15th minute goal via a header scored by veteran striker Harry Milanzi.

Nkana were disjointed throughout the first half as Napsa dominated.

Dube Phiri came close to extending Napsa’s lead in the 22nd minute but his header was saved by Chansa Kabwe.

Two minutes later, Kabwe was again tested by Milanzi but his effort was saved.

After the break, Nkana came back strong with some good possession but have very little to offer in terms of goal mouth action despite their entertaining football.

Meanwhile, Napsa’s victory was their second successive win after thumping bottom placed Lime Hotspurs last weekend.

Napsa move out of the bottom four from 14th to 15th place after picking up their second win of the season on seven points from as many games played.

Meanwhile, Nkana’s defeat sees their five point lead cut to just two points after Nchanga Rangers beat Konkola Mine Police 3-1 to close the gap.

Nkana stay on 16 points, Nchanga have 14 points after seven matches played.
