Power Dynamos coach Oswald Mutapa is disappointed with the 1-1 draw his team forced against relegation candidates FC Leopards at home in Kitwe in Friday’s Super League match.
This match was played over two-days due to the bad weather experienced in Kitwe on Thursday afternoon when officials halted it seven minutes into the first half.
Striker Emmanuel Chabula denied Power a win when equalising for Leopards three minutes into the second half stoppage time.
Regular scorer Moses Shumah had put Power in the driving seat after 35 minutes at the Arthur Davies Stadium in Ndeke, Kitwe.
“It is a disappointing result. We needed a win to open up the gap,” Mutapa said in a post-match comment.
“Much better in the first half but in the second half we didn’t come to the party, they (Leopards) were hungrier in-terms of wanting to equalise and they did just that,” he said.
Power have a four-point lead with 52 points in 24 matches played.
Leopards coach Albert Kachinga is demanding consistency as the club strives to avoid relegation in the top league.
“We still have a number of games and we will take each game as it comes, but the most important thing is not to drop all the three points, just as we have done today at Arthur Davies Stadium,” Kachinga said.
The coach is upbeat the Zambia Correction Service club would survive the Super League chop.
“When we play at home, we have to try to collect a maximum of three points. That is what can guarantee us survival. I think we are still in there and have a chance to fight,” Kachinga said.
Leopards remained second from the tail of the table with 21 points in 26 matches.
You can’t play a game for two days. It’s not cricket. If the corrupt CAF hear about this they will reverse the result
