Kalaba shines but Mazembe draw

It was a disappointing day at the office for Zambia captain Rainford Kalaba on Sunday when TP Mazembe drew 0-0 at home against Al Hilal of Sudan in a 2015 CAF Champions League opener.

Kalaba was on fire throughout the 90 minutes on match-day-one in Group A at Kamalondo stadium in Lubumbashi.

The Zambia captain created two great chances for Roger Assale midway through the first half and 75th minutes that the Cote d’Ivoire striker failed to convert.

His compatriot given Singuluma played the the opening 46 minutes before he was replaced by Tanzania striker Mbwana Samatta.

Defender Kabaso Chongo was not selected for the match.

Meanwhile, Mazembe are tied on one point with Al Hilal after match-day-one in Group A while Smouha of Egypt are on three points after a 3-2 home win over Moroccan side Moghreb Tétouan on the same date.
