Updated: Nkana Lose Again

It moved from bad to worse for Nkana today when they suffered an embarrassing home defeat to struggling Luanshya United in a delayed week 30 match played in Kitwe.

Luanshya thumped Nkana 3-0 to see the promotion chasing side stay put in 2nd place on the Faz Division 1 North table and four points behind leaders Nchanga Rangers.

A first half brace from Enock Chipo and a third goal in the scond half scored by Kunda Mulenga handed Luanshya their first win over Nkana this season after earlier losing 2-1 to the Kitwe side in the first half of the season.

Nkana’s defeat was their second successive competitive loss in a space of five days after Choma Eagles beat them 8-7 on post-match penalties in the Barclays Cup quarterfinals on Saturday at Woodlands Stadium following a 1-1 draw at full time.

Luanshya’s victory does little for them at the opposite end of the table for Zambia’s oldest surviving club who remain second from bottom of the log in their first season back in Division 1 North.

Meanwhile across town at Buchi Stadium, Mufulira Wanderers replaced Muchindu in third place they beat Mining Rangers 2-0.

Geoffrey Simwiinga and Moses Kashimoto scored a goal each in the first and second half respectively.
