Nkana’s bid to defend the FAZ Super League title hit a snag on Wednesday after they lost 1-0 to Konkola Blades in a rescheduled Week 17 tie played at Konkola Stadium.
Nkana are still 12 points behind leaders Zanaco who have 44 points with eight games remaining before the season ends.
Striker Anos Tembo headed in the all important goal in the 33rd minute as as Konkola trounced Nkana in Chililabombwe.
Enos Silwimba’s Konkola deserved to beat Nkana as they dominated play in both halves.
Nkana created the first real chance which was wasted by striker Ronald Kampamba on 10 minutes from close range.
Another chance Nkana wasted came in the 45th minute when Konkola keeper Collins Chomba clevery grabbed the ball off Simon Bwalya’s foot.
Fifteen minutes after the restart, Konkola came close to doubling the lead when Humphrey Maseneko saw his goal bound shot blocked by Masauso Zimba.
This was a sweet revenge for Sharp Razor who lost the reverse fixture 1-0 at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe on 7th May.

THAT IS FOOTBALL, u get POINTS or u give away.
Stil wil defend.
Me thinks, bringing ‘Quick Silver’ at Nkana was a mistake. Management should have just confirmed Zeddy in that position. What can Beston bring to Nkana which he could not offer at Blades? I don’t see can’t coming anywhere close to the heights they reached under the late with the current coach. Sad!
Thats how it must have been my brother.
