Lwandamina: Zesco still in Group D race

George Lwandamina insists Zesco United are still contenders in the race to reach the 2018 CAF Champions League quarterfinals.

Zesco were held to a 0-0 home draw by Primeiro de Agosto on July 17 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

That result saw Zesco still without a Group D win since the lucrative league phase of the competition kicked off in May in which they have collected just two draws and a defeat with three games left to play.

“Definitely we cannot be happy because it is a barren draw, we tried to do everything possible but that is how football is,” Lwandamina said.

“We still have three games to play and going by the performance of the boys, I am sure it is not every day that we will fail to convert a chances. Prospects are still there.”

Tuesday’s result also left Zesco bottom of Group D with two points , tied with 3rd placed Agosto and five points behind leaders Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia who beat second placed Mbabane Swallows 3-0 away in eSwatini on Tuesday.

Swallows have 4 points.

Meanwhile, Zesco travel to Angola on July 27 for their final leg Group D match against Agosto in Luanda that they must win to keep their hopes of a top two finish alive.

  1. An impossible task coach. Definitely you don’t expect your below average team to win in Angola or eswatin. Don’t even talk about Tunisia. Just focus on local league period

  2. Why is Chicken not playing the guy who scored 3 or so goals in the game against the Tanzanian opponents? Chicken ni Nkoko sana

  3. Comment: Bo Lwandamina sharpen your front line always shooting direct at the keeper
    hoping the ball will penetrate the human body its not possible.
