Nkana end winless run

A goal each from striker Ronald Kampamba and winger Francis Simwanza propelled Nkana to a 2-1 win over Roan United in a midweek rescheduled Super League Week 19 match played at Nkana Stadium.

This result was a huge relief to Beston Chambeshi’s Nkana who have gone through a bad patch in the second half of the season.

Kampamba put Nkana in front after 21 minutes with a scrappy goal after benefiting from goalmouth scramble to beat veteran keeper Stephen Kabwe from close range.

Ten minutes later, Nkana came close to doubling the lead when Simon Bwalya saw his shot on target stopped by Kabwe as the two sides went into the break with a 1-0 score-line.

Nkana increased their advantage in the 58th minute with Simwanza rising high to head in Kelvin Mubanga’s free kick taken from the edge of the box.

Bottom placed Roan cut the lead to 2-1 thanks to Arthur Kaseloki’s expertly taken free kick from outside the box on 73 minutes.
Nkana have now increased their tally to 36 points but remain stuck in fifth place on the table.
