Zesco disconnect Nkana’s title ambitions

Zesco United have defeated a poor Nkana 1-0 today in Kitwe to maintain their ten year unbeaten record at Nkana Stadium

The games lone goal came early in the second half of the game after an evenly matched first period.

Winston Kalengo scored the games lone goal in the 52nd minute when his shot off a corner took a deflection off defender Masauso Zimba before going in.

Zesco generally dominated Nkana who lost goalkeeper Rabson Muchelenganga just after the break after failing to recover from a collision with Alfred Luputa in the 38th minute.

However, his replacement Charles Mweemba found himself as the easy target for Nkana’s poor day at the office with rowdy fans not giving him any time to breathe clearly not forgiving him for conceding the goal.

Zesco join leaders Zanaco on 33 points but stay second on goal difference after fifteen games played.

Nkana stay put in fifth place on 26 points from fourteen matches played.

The champions now head to Nchanga Rangers on Saturday to play their final rescheduled fixture.
