Zesco United on Sunday brew away a first half lead to settle for a 1-1 draw with Mbabane Swallows of Swaziland in the two team’s opening 2015 CAF Champions League match in Manzini.

Zesco took a 1-0 lead into the break with midfielder Justin Zulu scoring on the nick of half time in this first leg match of the
preliminary round.

The FAZ Super League champions were seemingly heading for a famous victory at Somhololo Stadium before they were stunned by Felix
Badenhorst’s 90th minute equaliser.

It appeared to be a heartbreaking equaliser for George Lwandamina’s side as they escapted Manzini with a painful draw.

The two teams clash in two weeks time in the return leg set for Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Meanwhile,the overral winners between Zesco and Swallows will face either Sewe Sport or Kaloum in the next round of the Champions League.

Kaloum are leading Sewe 2-1 from the first leg match played on Saturday.
