Share

Rejuvenated Nkana on Wednesday moved into third place on the FAZ Super Division table after edging Nakambala Leopards 1-0 away in Mazabuka.

Striker Walter Bwalya scored a late goal in this Week 14 match at Nakambala Stadium as Nkana increased their tally to 26 points to move one place up the table.

This was Nkana’s second straight win having beaten Kitwe United 1-0 in their last match at home in Wusakile last Saturday.

At Garden Park Stadium, Zesco United overcame Kitwe United 2-1 in Kitwe to stay top of the table.

Striker Jesse Were scored the winner for Zesco who also benefited from Levy Makungu’s own goal earlier after Kitwe had taken a 1-0 lead into the half time break via Austin Muwowo’s 44th minute goal.

Zesco have moved to 31 points after playing 13 matches tied with second placed Green Buffaloes who beat ailing 2017 runners-up Zanaco 1-0 at home.

Meanwhile, there were also wins for Power Dynamos, Nkwazi and Forest Rangers in midweek games including a momentus one for newcomers Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy.

Kabwe Youth recorded the first win of their debut Super Division season after stunning Lumwana Radiants 2-0 in Kabwe.

In Monze, Alex Ngonga scored his first goal in 12 league games when Power won 1-0 away at New Monze Swallows.

  1. now that is news,Ngonga finally scores?Why not just turn this thing into a defender or goalkeeper since he is goal shy…

  2. Ngonga Wada’s girlfriend finally scores. I can not believe the logic that Zambian coaches use to select the National Team. Alex Ngonga has made more national team appearances than Sate Sate Kampamba but has anyone ever seen a screaming headline that says “Sate Sate scores?”.

  3. A clinical stricker has an average of 3 or 1.5 goals per game. Coaches please convince me why you keep on selecting this player.

  4. What does the author mean by rejuvenated Nkana wins!If anything so far,Nkana has the sharpest strikers and solid defence. Check the table to prove!Use appropriate words please!
