Striker Emmanuel Mayuka scored his debut league goal for Napsa Stars today to also guide them their first victory of the 20220/2021 FAZ Super Division.
The 2012 AFCON hero struck a powerful shot that first hit the woodwork before going in, in the 18th minute off a Daniel Silavwe assist to hand Napsa a 1-0 home win over Green Buffaloes in their Lusaka derby played at Woodlands Stadium.
But this was Mayuka’s third competitive of the season after netting two a week ago over two legs in Napsa’s CAF Confederation Cup 9-2 aggregate win over Ngazi FC of Comoros.
Mayuka joined Napsa last February in the second half of 2019/2020 season as a free agent on a permanent deal after a decade in Europe.
The result sees Napsa leave the bottom of the of the table from 18th to 16th on 6 points from six games and four in hand.
Napsa have one point more than defending champions Nkana while still winless Kitwe United who have replaced them at the basement have 4 points.
Kitwe United are away to third place Buildcon on Sunday in Ndola while Nkana entertain ninth positioned Green Eagles on the same date in Kitwe.
