Nkana coach Beston Chambeshi is excited to have kicked off the 2018 season with victory in the Charity Shield final.
Nkana beat Zesco 4-3 in the final played at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka on March 10.
The victory was Nkana’s first domestic accolade since lifting the 2014 Charity Shield title.
And Nkana in the process extended their Charity Shield record to an unprecedented 16th title.
“It was not easy playing against a big team like Zesco. They are a good team but we are happy with a win. We have started the season well,” Chambeshi said.
A brace each from Idris Mbombo and Ronald Kampamba secured Nkana the win.
Anthony Akumu, Bornwell Silengo and Lameck Banda were on target for Zesco.
Meanwhile, the win was sweet revenge for Nkana over Zesco after the former beat them 2-0 in the 2017 Charity Shield final.
It was a good game . However ZESCO UTD continues with their defensive lapses. With less than a week to go before season kicks off they don’t seem to have permanent back four. The combination of Idriss and kambamba was a thorn in the flesh for Zega.
Power 90, what are you? a coach? Just asking!!

NOT INSPIRING , THESE TEAMS FROM SHHTHOLE COUNTRIES playing in a stadium similar to a primary school in a rural village in China is disgraceful. The same nkana was beaten 3 – 0 by an algerian club cos. nkana are villagers , playing in a real stadium got them napping. I hope GEORGE the chicken will bring wonders to ZESCO as he resumes duty next week from TANZANIAS YOUNG AFRICANS
