Red Arrows minding their own business

With seven matches remaining officially in the season, Red Arrows coach Chisi Mbewe is not bothered by the one-point gap against Super League leaders Power Dynamos.

Second placed Arrows on Wednesday cut Power’s lead at the top of the table to one point after edging Nkana 2-1 away at Nkana Stadium in Wusakile.

Arrows moved to 51 points after playing 27 matches, while Power who have played 24 matches sit on 52 points.

“We are not looking at other teams,” Mbewe said in a post-match interview.

“I think for us we are taking each game at a time and I think we have targets we are working on,” he said.

On the victory over Nkana, Mbewe said not conceding first at Nkana Stadium gave the Airmen an edge over Kalampa.

“We knew that playing Nkana wasn’t going to be easy. I am happy that the team applied itself well in the match. It is a sweet victory for us,” Mbewe said.

Nkana assistant coach Josphat Nkhoma blamed the home defeat on poor defending.

“You could see the goals Arrows scored came as a result of loose marking in defence. This is the only thing we need to work on. In the striking force and midfield, we played well,” Nkhoma said.

Nkana have dropped one position down to number 12 with 31 points in 27 matches played.
