Zanaco win, Tigers feast on Mighty, Blackpool denied victory

Share

Zanaco kept second placed Nkana at bay when they beat Green Buffaloes 1-0 at home in Lusaka.

A 65th minute goal by Richard Kasonde to ensure Zanaco stay eight points ahead of Nkana on 55 and 47 points respectively with ten games left to play.

But there was some joy and heartbreak at the other end of the table.

Firstly at John Kachofa Stadium in Mufulira, bottom of the table Mufulira Blackpool saw a 1-0 lead stolen from them in stoppage by fellow promoted side Lumwana Radiants.

Alison Mulelembe put Blackpool ahead in the 42nd minute but Rogers Mukenge stole a point for Lumwana with an 88th minute equalizer.

Blackpool stay last, winless and with 8 points from 23 games as they look like breaking their record of two league wins from the last time they were in the FAZ Super Division in 1999.

And at Independence Stadium in Lusaka, Lusaka Tigers ended their nine-match losing run when they stunned Mighty Mufulira Wanderers 2-0 thanks to a brace by Malela Sapu.

Tigers stay second from bottom despite the precious victory over mid-table Mighty.
