High-scoring Pool A leaders Zanaco are happy with their 100 percent start to the 2019 FAZ Super Division season but concerned about their defending.
Zanaco on Sunday beat winless and bottom placed Kitwe United 4-3 at home but raised concerns with the manner in which they conceded goals against the Garden Park side.
It was the second successive match in which Zanaco had scored four goals and above but let in two or more goals after beating Lusaka Dynamos 5-2 in their last league match on February 3.
“I think we underrated our opponents. We performed poorly and the defence is not doing enough. We have to work very hard in our next game,” Zanaco assistant coach Dabid Chilufya said.
Zanaco lead Pool A on 9 points, three more than second placed Zesco United who have a game in hand and are away on CAF Confederation Cup Group C duty away in Ghana to play Asante Kotoko on Wednesday.
Interestingly, Zanaco’s will face their biggest test in Week Four this Sunday away to Zesco at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
