Nkana have shot up the table from 11th to 7th after a 2-1 home win over Konkola Blades on Wednesday in a FAZ Super Division Week 2 game at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.
The 2013 champions secured their second successive win thanks to goals in each half by striker Ronald Kampamba and midfielder Claude Bwalya.
Kampamba put Nkana ahead in the 33rd minute with a cheeky flick over Blades goalkeeper William Chibale before rounding the latter to poke the ball into the back of the net.
Bwalya added Nkana’s second in the 51st minute when he finished off on the rebound after Chibale parried Evans Kangwa’s shot into the midfielders’ path.
However, Blades who were relentless throughout the 90 minutes equalised in the 57th minute through striker Elson Mkandawire with an ice-cold finish from close range.
Blades drop to number 8 following the loss after Nkana replaced them in 7th spot on nine points each.
Meanwhile in the other rescheduled Week 2 game at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe, Zesco United escaped with a draw at Konkola Mine Police in a match both sides finished with ten men each.
Striker Jackson Sunzu put Mine Police ahead in the 2nd minute before he was sent off in the 32nd minute.
Zesco had to wait until the 85th minute when they secured the point from the penalty that was converted by midfielder Cletus Chota who in turn was also sent off after his equaliser.
Zesco moved back into second place on 15 points, two behind leaders Power Dynamos after seven games played.
Aleisa aleisa, Kalampa aleisa claiming the leadership of Zambian football. Well done boys.
This wa good. Who ever scores give him a red card!!! hahahahahahah! Zambia known us the real africa. (
Were they getting red cards for scoring? Hahahahahahah.
Zambian articles leaves much to be desired. You can’t read an article without unanswered questions. Explain in summary what led to the red cards as it is it’s like they both got red cards for scoring. Shame, I blame the colleges!
Am equally surprised at the poor quality of journalism being exhibited by LT. How could Konkola Blades have equalised in the 57th minute when Nkana was leading by 2 goals in the 51st minute?
