Zesco United’s woes continued on Wednesday following a stunning 2-1 away league loss to Mighty Mufulira Wanderers at Shinde Stadium to suffer their first FAZ Super Divison Pool A defeat of the 2019 campaign.
The league defeat came barely four days after Zesco lost 3-0 away to Nkana to end their CAF Confederation Cup Group C quarterfinal dreams with a match to spare.
Wednesday’s loss is also a huge concern for the defending FAZ Super Division champions who not only suffered their third successive competitive defeat, but are also winless in seven competitive games since they defeated Nakambala Leopards 2-0 at home in Ndola on February 6.
Since then Zesco have collected four defeats and three draws.
Meanwhile, Mighty and Zesco went into the break 1-1 after Humphrey Maseneko and Lazarus Kambole scored in the 22nd and 45th minutes respectively.
But Brian Chewe turned from provider to scorer in the 67th minute to seal Mighty’s first league win since the start of the season on January 27 when they beat fellow promoted side Prison leopards 3-0 at Shinde.
Wednesday’s victory also saw Mighty end their three-match losing run and handed caretaker coach Allan Kamwanga his first win from two games in charge since replacing the suspended Justin Chinama.
Zesco stay fourth on 8 points, tied with Mighty who jump from eighth to fifth after the home victory after five and seven games played respectively.
The two sides are also six points behind leaders Zanaco.
George please runaway before get unemployed. Go to Tanzania or Mozambique.
George ulova wamugwila kudala.. run for the mountains.
All three goal scorers are former Konkola Blades players who could have continued playing for Sharp Razor in Chililabombwe under ZCCM had late FTJ Chiluba and HH not privatized the mines!!The new mine owners(KCM) have no heart for football as a result many football teams such as Roan United,Kalulushi modern stars,Nchanga Rangers,Konkola Blades,Chambishi,etc in the copperbelt are suffering in division one!!This is a major reason why HH’s UPND has been losing elections in that region since 2006 because he took part in destroying the lives of copperbelt residents via privatization!!!CONGRATULATIONS BA MIGHTY!!!
Even Sata, lungu and guy Scott were part of chiluba s mmd that privatized the mines
Happiness should not be for certain people only. …it should be shared.
George ulova wamugwila kudala.. run for the mountains.lol
Can we remove PF for sponsoring only Zesco football? UNIP sponsored all CB teams through ZCCM and Zambian soccer was flying high
I fail to see the logic
