Zanaco snatch historic win in Cameroon

Zanaco stunned Cameroonian giants Cotonsport 1-0 on Wednesday to stand on the verge of reaching the quarterfinal stage of the 2017 CAF Champions League.

Saith Sakala’s stoppage time goal propelled Mumamba Numba’s side to victory away at Roumde Adjia Stadium.

The win sees Zanac make history as the first Zambian club to win a continental fixture away in Cameroon in over 42 years.

The Banker lead their Group D with 10 points after four matches played.

Egyptians Al Ahly are second on 7 points, one above third placed Wydad Casablanca who beat them 2-0 away in Morocco on Tuesday while Cotonsport are bottom on zero points and out of contention.

Zanaco are remaining with two group matches against Al Ahly at home and away at Wydad.

    • Do you mean the players for Cotonsport were out playing confederation cup in Russia and then Zanaco was playing with tins? Let us learn to be analytical in our true senses and appreciate where it is due. Thumbs up to Zanaco!!

    • @Anyo….

      What are you trying to say?
      What problem do you have? is it unthankfulness or jealousy? Grow up you, yourself…. don’t point fingers at others. You are a misfit in society.
      Good work ZANACO, It is not easy to win away from home!!!!!!!!!!

    • ANYOKO IS DEFINITELY UPND AND IS NEGATIVE ABOUT EVERY ZAMBIAN ACHIEVEMENT. HE WOULD ONLY START SINGING PRAISES WHEN A FELLOW KACHEMA IS IN STATEHOUSE
