By KALUMIANA KALUMIANA At Nkana Stadium –
Nkana 1 Nkwazi 2
COACH Beston Chambeshi was swiftly whisked out of Nkana Stadium in Kitwe yesterday by police after 12-time league champions Nkana lost at home to Nkwazi.
Chambeshi was quickly surrounded by Nkana’s club security after the final whistle of this Week Three fixture and later bundled into a car under heavy police security and driven out of the stadium.
Meanwhile, the defeat left Nkana without a win this season under Chambeshi from three games played and suffering two home losses including an away draw.
Nkana took the lead in the 20th minute thanks to a superb volley by Felix Nyaende.
However, Nkwazi equalised in the 44th minute through a Given Sinyangwe own-goal.
Kasongo Mwepya added to Nkana’s woes with the winner in the 49th minute.
The defeat was even more painful to swallow for Nkana’s ever-demanding fans after Nkwazi lost 1-0 at home in Lusaka in Week Two a fortnight to promoted Mighty Mufulira Wanderers.
Rangers 1 Zanaco 1
Zanaco came from behind to deny hosts Nchanga Rangers their second successive home win of the season at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola.
Fashion Sakala scored the opening goal for Rangers before Augustine Mulenga equalised for Zanaco.
Wanderers 2 Assembly 1
Legendary ‘Mighty’ Mufulira Wanderers recorded their second successive victory to move to six points at the expense of National Assembly, who are yet to win a game this season, reports MOSES CHIMFWEMBE.
This Week Three fixture played at Shinde Stadium in Mufulira saw the home side finish the game with 10 men after Eric Chibuye was sent off.
Aaron Sakala gave the visitors the lead with a clinical finish on 13 minutes but Charles Shamujompa converted a 50th minute penalty to restore parity for Wanderers after Jacob Ngulube was fouled in the box by Evans Mwanza.
Wanderers were reduced to a man down in the 71st minute after Kitwe referee Gladys Lengwe sent Chibuye for an early shower for a second yellow card but that setback did not stop Moses Nyambe from scoring a match winner on 80 minutes to inspire ‘Abena Milambo’ to their second victory for the season.
