Arrows slay Leopards to go top

Head coach Oswald Mutapa begun his reign at Red Arrows with a 4-0 win over Nakambala Leopards in Lusaka on Sunday as his new side shot to the top of the 2014 FAZ Super League on superior goal difference.

Stanley Nshimbi headed Arrows in front after 17 minutes in this delayed Week One match at Nkoloma Stadium as the two teams went to the break with a 1-0 scoreline.

Two minutes after the restart Arrows doubled their lead when veteran striker Adubelo Phiri tapped in from close range to beat advancing Nakambala keeper Kelvin Musonda.

Eight minutes later, first half substitute Evans Musonda who replaced injured Nshimbi inked his name on the score sheet when he headed in a Daniel Sibanda cross from inside the box.

This was before second half substitute Morgan Kaoma wrapped up the scoring with his first touch.

Arrows jointly top the league after a round of Week One matches on three points with Power Dynamos, Nchanga Rangers, Zesco United, Napsa Stars, Konkola Mine Police and Napsa Stars.

  1. Nakambala leopards!How many times are you going to be in the top league and down to division one again and again.When are you going to learn to compete with the big boys.
    I urge the Sugar company to disband the team if they are demoted to division1 at the end of this season.Better sponsor another sport next season.
