Champions Nkana remained stuck in fifth place after they were held to a frustrating home goalless draw by Nakambala Leopards in a delayed midweek FAZ Super League round 21 tie in Wusakile.
Nkana were left ruing several scoring opportunities by a determined Nakambala side at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.
However, the visitors were the first ones to shoot on target with forward Moses Siyanda forcing Rabson Mucheleng’aga to stop a free kick taken from outside the box after two minutes.
On 21 minutes, striker Ronald Kampamba came close to giving Nkana a lead when he headed a Kelvin Mubanga cross just over the bar from close range.
Twelve minutes before the break Nakambala’s Friday Konga missed a chance to put his side in front after sending a header slightly wide from the box.
Not even the half time pep talk from coaches seemed to have worked in the last half as both teams continued wasting chances.
Nkana now sits on 43 points and eigth placed Nakambala moves to 32 points from 25 matches.
Wilson Mwale’s Nakambala handed Nkana their first league defeat back in May when they won the earlier meeting 1-0 in Mazabuka.
This draw is coming just three days after the seemingly outgoing league champions Nkana succumbed to a shocking 1-0 home defeat to Nchanga Rangers in Kitwe.

Fuseki LT, your reporting disagree with the table. Nakambala moving from 25 to 32pts, how can a draw accumulate so much points?
