Share

Nchanga Rangers won their first game of the season in contentious circumstances after rallying to beat Zanaco at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola today.

And at Trade Fair Grounds, Zesco United extended their unbeaten run to six matches after beating Kabwe Warriors 2-0 in Ndola.

Rangers defeated Zanaco 2-1 in the two sides delayed Faz Super Division Week 1 match.

However, it was Zanaco who took the lead thanks to a 41st minute goal scored by Makundika Sakala.
Rangers defender Gift Sakuwaha equalized five minutes after the break.

Rangers winner meanwhile came under controversial circumstances after Zanaco seemingly won a penalty in the 88th minute when Sakuwaha tackled midfielder Henry Banda in the box.

However, referee Bernard Chabala ruled for no-foul before Zanaco players accosted him.

And no sooner had the fracas ensued than Chabala allowed play to resume and Rangers striker Kabwe Chileshe scored the winner in time added on.

Rangers two goals were the teams first this season after three successive defeats.

And in Ndola, Zesco sent Warriors reeling with goals from ex-Zanaco striker Winston Kalengo and Alfred Luputa in the 54th and 78th minutes respectively.
