Nkana coach Beston Chambeshi has reflected on the resurgent Kitwe giant’s first away win in Lusaka this season where they beat defending champions Red Arrows on Saturday.
Nkana beat Arrows 1-0 at Nkoloma Stadium through a 69th minute Jacob Ngulube goal.
Green Buffaloes and Zanaco beat Nkana 1-0 and 3-2 respectively while they left Nkwazi with a scoreless draw.
“It’s a good win for us as a team. Arrows is not a pushover team, they played well as well and they had to contain us, especially in the first half,” Chambeshi said.
“Above all, we wanted to collect maximum points away from home.
“As Nkana at least we are pushing slowly and for sure the remaining seven games we will make sure we take each game with a serious approach.
“As I said earlier, the remaining games are cup finals so we don’t have enough time to relax. We have to push on.”
Meanwhile, Nkana is 9th on 38 points, six points behind second placed Buffaloes and further 13 points adrift of Power Dynamos with seven games left to play.
