Nkwazi arrest Nkana’s league title chase

Struggling Nkwazi have slowed down Nkana’s march toward their 12th FAZ Super Division title after stunning the Kitwe side 1-0 at home on Sunday afternoon.

Prior to this match Nkana needed two wins to claim the league title.

Augustine Mulenga scored the goal as Nkwazi ended Nkana’s 11-month home unbeaten run.

Mulenga tapped in from close range three minutes into the first half.

After scoring an early goal David Musole’s team endured massive pressure from Nkana before the half time break.

Nkana forcefully pushed for an equaliser that never came as Festus Mbewe and Reynold Kampamba wasted several scoring opportunities.

The second half was a more one sided affair as Nkana dominated play but could not find the back of the net.

Leaders Nkana remain seven points clear off second placed Zesco United who lost 2-1 away at Konkola Mine Police on Saturday.

Nkana are on 54 points and still need six points from the remaining four matches to win the league title.

    • Zesco you now have ray of hope ! But that is all it is : A RAY ! ! ! In fact Nchanga Rangers will finish above Zesco !

  3. @ BAGS, U are dreaming my friend. Nkana is grabbing this years league title under whatsoever circumstances. We don’t even need 2 get 6 points coz Zesco will by no means win all the remaining games, however we are getting more than 6 points and Zesco will get less than 6 points from the remaining games and likely to let go of the 2nd position. NKANA 4 LIFE.

  4. It just couldnt go in! Festus Mbewe hit the woodwork and the Nkwazi keeper was the man of the match. He made 4 great saves
    Just wasn’t Kalampa day- it happens in football

  5. Its going to rest at Cilata how they are going to do it we don’t know but Nkana will be Champions somehow this year.Kalampa For life.
