Nkana embarrass Zanaco at Sunset

Share

Champions Nkana today seriously questioned contenders Zanaco’s title credentials after picking up a rare away win at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.

Nkana came from 1-down in the first half to beat Zanaco 2-1 in the last eleven minutes of the second half.

Moses Phiri put Zanaco ahead in the 31st minute to silence Nkana in this end-to-end match at Sunset.

The match was briefly halted in the 72nd minute after Nkana fans threw missiles on the pitch.

However, when action resumed it was Nkana whom the brief interlude favoured and equalised in the 79th minute through Shadreck Musonda.

Ugandan import Tony Udor sealed the three points in the 82nd minute to hand Nkana their first league win under new coach Beston Chambeshi from four games in charge.

Nkana move to 32 points after the win while Zanaco’s lead has been cut from four to one point after Zesco United won 2-0 at home over Roan United at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Goals from Winston Kalengo and Justin Zulu in the 11th and 84th minutes respectively gave second placed Zesco the win.

    • Good to read the Ugandan import is scoring…
      NAPSA is probably the team of the season, I wonder why their goalkeeper is not considered for National Team, he is sensational, is not a Zambian?

  1. Alright!!! Now turn your attention on the caf competition. We want you to qualify to the semis and eventually finals. As for today’s much, well done especially that key players were missing. Looking at the number of games remaining, we can still retain our title judging by performances in the last couple of weeks. All the best in west africa.

  2. Wll done KALAMPA, atleast i can ENJOY my BOTTLE freely @ ROODSIDE Ndeke KITWE wth alot of FAVOUR on me.
    As NKANA FC, let us now focus on CAF GAMES so we bring JOY to SOUTHERN AFRICA & as far as i know POWER FANS wil celebrate.

    BOYS lets add more FAVOUR in CAF.

  3. Dominic Yobe of NAPSA should be considered for National Team. And they have that Rasta striker/mid-fielder, just perfect size for Chipolopolo.
