Zesco United Leap From 7th to 3rd

The sweeping changes and departures at Zesco United seem have brought breathe of freash air to the club as the former Super Division champions won their third successive league victory.

Changes to the club management and bench a fortnight ago on the bench have seen Zesco enjoy a new breathe of new life with three out of three wins

And after 1-0 wins over Green Buffaloes and Lusaka Dynamos, Zesco this afternoon stepped up another gear to defeat visiting Choma Eagles 3-1 at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.

Clifford Chipalo put Zesco ahead in the 7th minutes before Enock Sakala made it 2-0 on the half hour mark to score his four goal of the season.

Choma’s got on the score sheet in predictable fashion through Aubrey Zulu  who scored his third goal of the season for the Southern Provinces’ sole representatives in the Super Division.

John Chingangu completed Zesco’s rout of Choma to move from 7th to third, level on 13 points with second placed Nkana who beat them to the number two spot on goal difference.

The win also means Zesco remain unbeaten from seven league games played this season with leaders Nchanga Rangers who have played a game more also undefeated in the Super Division in 2010 and are on 15 points.

  1. This is Zesco united we know. Very soon we will be at the top but not these hooligans Nkana FC who are just pretending and once they start loosing, they will end up in division one. Zanaco is also coming so dont be excited imwe ba Nkana just wait…..

  2. Let us wait and see. Would be nice to have a Copperbelt verteran win the league this time around. Thumbz up ZESCO though.

  3. Ba Zescolo just concentrate on your game and leave the dreaded nkana alone. What ever you do you have never and probably will never reach at what Nkana achived.
