Ronald ‘Sate Sate’ Kampamba scored a brace while Fred Tshimenga scored from the spot to see Nkana complete back-to-back home wins in Group C and comfortably sit of 6 points from three games.
Tshimenga put Nkana ahead in the 18th minute from a penalty after Walter Bwalya was brought down in the box.
But Kotoko equalized in the 21st minute when Yacouba Songne fired in a fine free kick.
Kampamba restored Nkana’s lead in the 28th minute with a fine volley to see the two sides go 2-1 into the break.
Kampamba completed his brace in the 52nd minute to make life difficult for Kotoko.
However, Nkana suffered a setback in the 71st minute when Richard Ocran received his second booking and is suspended for the next match on March 3 away to Kotoko.
Nkana will know their status at the end of match day three when Zesco United and Al Hilal complete their Group C assignment on Sunday night in Ndola.
This is a great team which needs support from grz
Why support from the GRZ? Nkana is a club owned by a private mining outfit, so where does the Govt come in? Zambian mentality, we want Govt to be involved in everything!
Congratulations Nkana. Hope ZESCO does well too.
Efilwa fwayika ifi. Soldier on guys we are behind you!!!!
All the teams in this competition have won their home games and lost their away matches
Kalampa has been through thick and thin, even when the team had no sponsors and had to depend on supporters Sate Sate didn’t shun the club. It was a beautiful result, hard to Zesco, they dominated the game but scores count. The battle is still on. Uwafitala akaimwena
