Ronald ‘Sate-Sate’ Kampamba rescued a point for Nkana on Wednesday when they left Nkwazi with a 2-2 draw at Edwin Emboela Stadium in Lusaka.
The draw in this rescheduled Week Seven match did very little for Nkana’s top two quest as their continue to clear their five-match backlog.
But the draw benefitted Nkwazi who rose from third to second.
And it was Nkwazi who took a 1-0 halftime lead through striker Emmanuel Chabula in the 28th minute.
Chabula’s goal came after a some sustained pressure from Nkana who saw Kampamba’s 20th minute header collected by Nkwazi goalkeeper Charles Muntanga.
Nkwazi then had midfielder Mathews Nkowani’s 45th minute goal ruled -out for offside much to Nkana’s relief.
But Kampamba leveled matters just after the restart when he finished a pass from Kelvin Mubanga.
Nkwazi then hit back in the 58th minute through Kebson Kamanga who put Nkwazi back in the driving seat well into the closing minutes of the game.
However, Kampamba had the last say in stoppage time to earn Nkana a precious away point before heading to Choma this Sunday to face Pool B leaders Green Eagles.
Nkana stay seventh on 16 points from eleven games played with three matches in hand.
Nkwazi rise from third to second, exchanging paces with Buildcon on 25 and 24 points respectively while Eagles lead on 28 points with four games left to play.
Beston is not taking us anywhere. The team is bigger thank his technical knowhow we can’t see this with our mere necked eyes. Wait and see. We lost to lumwana then green eagles now a draw with nkwazi. Backlog reduced from 5 games to three. What is the probability that we’ll rise to first or second position.
what is EDWIN EMBOELA ? IS IT A NAME FOR A CATERPILLAR???
