Tana Starts Nkana Reign with Victory ‎

Nkana ended a three-match losing streak with a 2-0 home win against Konkola Blades at Nkana Stadium in Wusakile, Kitwe.

‎Forwards Charles Zulu and Lazarous Kambole were the scorers in this round 23 match of the Super League.

‎Zulu put Kalampa in the lead with a close range header after 35 minutes with Kambole scoring another header on 55 minutes.

‎This was Nkana interim coach Elijah Tana’s first match in charge after the sending of Mwenya Chipepo and his assistant Christopher Katongo on forced leave this week.

‎”We are happy that we won today after losing three games. Winning today has given us moral and more confidence,” said Nkana assistant coach Josephat Nkhoma.

‎Nkhoma saluted the backline for not conceding against Konkola.

‎”I think today’s clean sheet gives the defenders confidence and moral. We should not be allowing goals in every game we play,” he said.

‎Nkana’s seventh win of the season saw them rise to 28 points after playing 23 matches.

‎Ninth placed Konkola remained on 30 points after playing 22 matches.

‎Elsewhere on Saturday, second placed Red Arrows missed a chance to return to the top of the Super League after succumbing to a 2-1 loss at FC MUZA in Mazabuka.

‎Arrows remained on 43 points, two behind leaders Power Dynamos, who travels to Zesco United on Sunday.

‎Nchanga Rangers thumped Mines United 3-0 at Nchanga Stadium, with Kansanshi Dynamos thrashing Mighty Mufulira Wanderers 2-0 in Solwezi.
