Nkwazi stuns Konkola

Nkwazi remained stuck in relegation despite Saturday’s 1-0 away win against Konkola Blades in the Super League match played at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
‎
‎This rescheduled week 22 fixture was the only Super League match lined up for this weekend owing to the FIFA international break.
‎
‎Second half substitute Billy Ntumba handed Nkwazi the victory via a 75th minute goal that silenced the home supporters at Konkola Stadium.
‎
‎Ntumba, who replaced Clement Banda, was on the pitch for 13 minutes when he found the back of the net for the Police team.
‎
‎Nkwazi are placed fourth from the bottom of the table with 24 points from 26 matches played.
‎
‎”First of all, we thank God for the result. It has been a long time coming,” said Nkwazi assistant coach Keagan Phiri.
‎
‎”We played a very disciplined game, kudos to Konkola they play very well but today we did our homework and we scored,” he said.
‎
‎With eight matches remaining in the season, Nkwazi are one place and two points away from the survival line.
‎
‎”We knew getting three points would be very important,” Phiri said.
‎
‎Meanwhile, Konkola are placed ninth on the log with 35 points in 26 matches played.
