Nkana were handed some poetic justice of sorts after making a stunning comeback at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka on Saturday beat hosts Green Buffaloes and move into fourth place.
Nkana were looking like their were heading for their second defeat in their last three games after Buffaloes took a 26th minute lead through a Victor Chimbulu header.
Nkana were then controversially punished when assistant coaches Gift Kampamba and Zeddy Saileti were dismissed from the bench by referee Stanley Hachiwa.
Hachiwa’s harsh decision which he would have thought twice about at Nkana Stadium saw coach Beston Chambeshi cut a lonely figure on the bench.
Meanwhile,the status quo stayed that way until the 71st minute when defender Maybin Chishimba fired in his now trademark parabolic strike from the edge of the left wing to beat Buffaloes goalkeeper Edison Phiri.
The scenario was the same in Nkana’s other dramatic comeback win over Konkola Mine Police on September 21 when Chishimba also scored from a similar range and angle to spark the 2013 champions rally.
Nkana then shocked Buffaloes with a 90th minute goal by substitute Shadreck Musonda who tapped in the ball from close-range to see some justice done after the expulsion of the two assistant coaches.
Beston Chambeshi’s side move to 46 points, seven behind their archrivals and leaders Power Dynamos with four games left before the 2014 title is decided.

Ba Kalampa!!! Hoping the Zambian way ka? “Nkana can win all the remaining 4 games, Dynamoes lose three, Zanaco lose 2 & draw1 and ….” That is rubbish!! Twalilusa kalee!! Just like “If Zambia beats Togo 5-0 away & home & Cape Verde beat the Mambas 4-1 home & away, ninshi we will qualify as a forlon second! Why bank on Cape Verde to do us favours?
You’re right , too few games to go and too many factors dependent on others ! However , third is a realistic possibility though just as pointless as fourth !
Feels like back to the Stone Age without Zamfoot,missing the site so bad. I wonder the results between our girls against Cameroun in yesterday’s match @ Nkoloma stadium. Awe mwandi!
