“My target was to score more goals and get top scorers spot,” Sakala, who scored Zesco’s opening goal in their final game against Al Hilal in that 2-0 Group A win in Lusaka on Saturday, said.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old striker said Zesco had come out of this years Caf Champions League campaign with valuable lessons.

“We have gained experience and we have moved a step forward,” Sakala said.
