Weekend Scorecard

Zesco United are likely to be making a trip to Swaziland this March in the first round of the Orange Caf Champions League if all goes to plan.

Their prospective first round opponents Young Buffaloes, like Zesco, also won by an emphatic 3-0 score -line this past weekend at home.

Young Buffaloes beat Saint Michel of The Seychelles in the two sides preliminary round, first leg match in Manzini on Sunday to carry a healthy advantage into the away game in a fortnights time.

The plot thickens in the prospective first round tie because should both Zesco and Young Buffaloes progress, fans should expect an all-Zambian affair on the respective benches.

Zesco coach Fighton Simukonda will pit his wits against former Green Buffaloes assistant coach George Chikokola who incidentally also coached a side called Young Buffaloes back home in Zambia two seasons ago.

Meanwhile, the last time a Swaziland club with a Zambian at the helm played a Zambian team in Caf club cup action was in 2001.

This was when Green Mamba under then coach Francis Banda eliminated Zanaco from defunct Caf Cup in the first round.
