Power Dynamos on Sunday redeemed some Kitwe pride on Sunday after a 2-0 home win over relegation-threatened Nakambala Leopards at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.

The result came 24 housr after their arch-rivals Nkana were humiliated 5-3 away in Ndola by defending champions and current league leaders Zesco United.

Meanwhile, Power’s win kept them closely behind Zesco in second place.

Power dominated Nakambala but failed to punish the visitors by a wider margin.

Striker Martin Phiri, who missed several chances in both halves of the match, redeemed himself in the 39th minute to put Power 1-0 ahead in the break.

Phiri pounced on a rebound after Nakambala goalkeeper Moses Mapulanga parried a Julius Situmbeko free kick into the teh strikers path.

Power captain Emmanuel Chimpinde sealed the win in the 68th minute when he headed in a Situmbeko cross.

Power move to 42 points, four behind Zesco United after 20 games played with another ten left to go before the 2015 FAZ Super League title is decided.

Nakambala stay second from bottom in 15th place on 14 points inside the last four demotion zone.

  1. did well to go to the World Cup championships and they played well in some gains. But they need to train the ladies to learn to score the with more than just one hand and also from a far too. Since netball is similar to basketball, they should train them to shoot from a far too. They should learn from other teams like Trinidad Tobago or New Zealand. They should review their plays and see how they waste the ball because they can’t score from a far. The ladies should also be told not to use too much ambi or the skin lightening creams. They look so artificial than all the other black players. I know we can’t stop these women from lightening their skins but use in moderation is ok than the way these women are overusing it. Everyone can tell on TV that they’re using too much skin lightening…

  2. . I know we can’t stop these women from lightening their skins but use in moderation is ok than the way these women are overusing it. Everyone can tell on TV that they’re using too much skin lightening creams. For improved playing and with Malawi and South Africa as good teams nearby, the players should be exposed to more friendly matches with these teams. Maybe, the team should also have a female assistant coach. They should seek sponsorship for some players like Jere, Bamda, Chingambo and Bwalya etc in British, New Zealand and Australian clubs. What do others who saw the matches think.
