Zesco slay Swallows to progress

Zesco United have advanced to the first round of the 2015 CAF Champions League.

Zesco beat Swazi club Mbabane Swallows 1-0 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on Saturday to advance 2-1 on aggregate from the preliminary round of the competition.

The contest was settled in the first half thanks to a 28th minute goal from midfielder Justin Zulu in what was a rather dull game throughout.

Zulu fired in the ball that came off the post before crossing the line leaving Swallows goalkeeper Francis Nicho stunned.

Zambia striker Jackson Mwanza wasted numerous chances hitting the woodwork in the 71st minute and was later denied by Nicho in the 73rd and 87th minute.

Meanwhile, Zesco will face overall winner from Sundays final leg match between AS Kaloum of Guinea and Sewe Sport of Cote d’Ivoire.

Kaloum beat Sewe 2-1 away in Abidjan a fortnight ago.
