Kitwe United end winless run

Share

Kitwe United thumped National Assembly 3-0 at home in Kitwe on Saturday to end their five match winless run that was punctuated by three draws and two defeats.

Striker Rodgers Mukenge, forward Austin Muwowo and midfielder Lupert Musonda scored at Garden Park Stadium as Kitwe posted their first victory since April 11 when they beat Red Arrows 2-1 in a Week 5 match in Lusaka.

Kitwe led just after five minutes when Mukenge’s strike was deflected into the net by the Assembly backline to send home supporters into early celebrations.

Assembly missed a chance to equalise after 22 minutes when unmarked forward Kennedy Lungu headed just wide in one-on-one situation with keeper Lameck Siame.

Kitwe’s John Sikaumbwa saw his 35th minute effort go over after rounding up advancing keeper Langson Chisi before Muwowo doubled Chingalika’s lead with a close ranger tap a minute later.

Musonda made it 3-0 for Kitwe in the 63rd minute after pushing in Emmanuel Chabula’s pass from the box.

Meanwhile, the win in this Week 12 match has pushed Kitwe from 11th to 8th slot in the FAZ Super Division with 17 points.
