Nkana draw and stand still in fifth

Defending champions Nkana came from behind to force a 1-1 draw against ten-man Indeni in a FAZ Super League Week 23 encounter played Nkana Stadium in Kitwe on Sunday.

Winger Simon Bwalya headed in Shadreck Musonda’s cross in the 80th minute to cancel Djunese Kanda’s 48th minute penalty.

Kanda beat keeper Rabson Muchelenganga from the spot after Lusaka referee Stanley Hachiwa penalized Nkana defender Amos Simwanza for bringing down Norman Munthali in the box.

Earlier, Indeni keeper Humphrey Mwenya ensured that the two teams went to the break scoreless after making several brilliant saves in the opening 45 minutes.

Mwenya denied Nkana an opportunity to take a 3rd minute lead when he stopped Musonda’s close range shot inside the box
Three minutes later, Mwenya was again forced to save Ronald Kampamba’s low shot in a one on one situation.

Indeni were reduced to ten men eight minutes from the final whistle when Captain Morgan Kanjolo received a second yellow for a crude tackle on Nkana’s second half substitute Kelvin Mubanga.

After this draw Nkana remain fifth on the table but increases their tally to 33 points while Indeni are still fourth from the bottom with 23 points from 23 games.
