Coach Masauso Mwale says Nkana can advance to the next round of the 2014 Champions League despite Sunday’s shocking 2-0 loss to Mbabane Swallows in the first leg of the preliminary round.

The two teams clash in the return match at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe this Saturday with Nkana aiming to score three unanswered goals if they are to qualify to the first round.

Mwale believes the 2013 FAZ Super League champions can score the needed goals in the second leg set for Wusakile.

“We are still in the game and it is possible to score three goals” he said.
Mwale, however, demanded improvement from his squad ahead of the return leg.

“I think you saw we missed some chances and we just gave them the game. I think we have to work on our lapses especially in defense,” he said.

Second half goals from Zimbabwean striker Kudzanayi Matanda and Swaziland international attacker Felix Bardenhost condemned Nkana to a 2-0 loss to Swallows at Somhololo Stadium in Swaziland.

And Swallows Zambian-coach Christopher “Gaza”Tembo described the win as a good result for the Swazi champions.

“It’s a mixed grill bitter and sweet but for me personally I feel good for my team. I think today hard luck to Nkana they didn’t play their cards correctly,” Tembo said.

He warned that Swallows will not allow Nkana to overturn the 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture.
“We wouldn’t allow that to happen to us no no,” Tembo added.

Too bad ba Nkana. After all the hype locally! Anyway with a miracle you could upset the tables. But miracles don’t normally happen for Zambians clubs

Coach Masauso Mwale talks too much. Always wanting to be heard. Stop wasting time pausing before journalists, work with your team on the “school boys” mistakes they were making in Swaziland. You missed few chances, Swallows also missed their chances but they were a better side than Nkana. What will happen when they get a goal in Kitwe? You will get in the panic mode and that will be it. Leave journalists alone and talk to your team.

  Oaches who talk a lot miss it on the pitch. We want Nkana to advance. Its very possible but the coach should reserve the public comments he is making. It happened wiyh the uder 20, now Nkana.
  Masautso, your job is to deliver good results and not prophesy.

Is it a shocking LOSS? when all of you had 90minutes to fight, i think coaches should be allowed to comment in venarcular, in PF everything is kaput , u think those swallows will loose in KITWE, ask Chipolopolol about CHAN with ROBERT MUGABE BOYS, Since MMD lost they went with everything, Soccer, economy,mature politics, etc i miss RB let alone the dead SAINTS MTSRIP, if LPM OR KAFUPI woke up to see PF in power they can definately go back to sleep, unless UPND, they can stay alive

Since chicken coop kits are available and also several distinct sizes
and shapes you’ll want to think about the reason for your own coop.
Depending on the climate as well as the breeds, some hens yield even more or perhaps much less eggs

Whenever you want to buy or build a bird house you have take into account a
few factors like whatever your plans, always use raw wood to make a birdhouse.
The majority of the time, when your ex boyfriend
texts you, it is with the pretense of casual, innocent conversation.
Perfect if you want to be able to use the boat inside waters.
