NKANA CAN NOT JUST BEAT ZESCO AS THEY HAND OVER TOP SLOT TO ZANACO
WINNERS
POWER DYNAMOS, NCHANGA RANGERS, GREEN BUFFALOES, LUSAKA TIGERS, NAKAMBALA LEOPARDS, ZANACO, FOREST RANGERS AND ZESCO
POWER DYNAMOS
A great game of football and Kabwe Warriors lost a game they were expected to pick even a point by Power Dynamos got the three points thanks to Martin Bwalya and Francis Kasonde with the goals that pushed Power Dynamos temporally to the third before ZESCO reclaimed it. It will be a welcome three points for the Kitwe giants. Well Done Power Dynamos
NCHANGA RANGERS
The last time Nchanga Rangers won a game was in week nine against Lumwana Radiants and this 1-0 against Green Eagles was to be welcomed greatly and it was Kabeya Mulume with the goal that sees Nchanga Rangers finish week 15 on 10th position with a game in hand. It is a win that will lift the spirit of the Chingola outfit. Next up they have a short trip to play Mufulira Blackpool.
GREEN BUFFALOES
Adrian Chama was the difference against Red Arrows at Independence Stadium and that win by GBFC puts the Army side in a serious position to win the title this season. Don’t rule out GBFC, they are here to compete. They are fourth, same points with ZESCO United on 25 points.
FOREST RANGERS
Patrick Phiri continued with the very good run for Forest Rangers as they travelled to play Lusaka Dynamos in a lunch time fixture. With Ronald Chibwe and Nawa Nawa with the goals. Forest Rangers go fifth on the Table and they have two players in the top 20 goal scorers with Felix Nyaenda on three goals and Ronald Chibwe on four goals. They are up the ranks.
LUSAKA TIGERS
Tanaka and they showed the resilience against Mufulira Blackpool via a 2-0 victory that brought relief among the big following of Lusaka Tigers who celebrated as though they had won the league. It is so refreshing for the team and their committed fans. Tigers move three points above relegation zone on 12 position.
NAKAMBALA LEOPARDS
Nakambala continued with the good run at home with a comfortable 2-1 victory against Lusaka Dynamos who traveled one of the longest distance in the Super League this season. Nakambala took advantage and collected maximum points that moves Nakambala Leopards to 20 points and sit comfortably on the 9th position and for some time they will forget about relegation fears. They look safe and home form is working best for Nakambala Leopards.
ZESCO
ZESCO won the game of the week and that will be a big result for ZESCO who once again showed that they can lose to any team but not NKANA. It was a good win for ZESCO who made sure they avoided defeat to catch up with the top two but they still have three points less with three games in hand. ZESCO will take it as a serious motivation to win this encounter. The goal came from the unlikely source. Ben Banh Adama with his first for Zesco in the Super League. CONGRATULATIONS ZESCO UNITED.
ZANACO
The league leaders in Week 15 on goal difference will be the most excited of the week and three unanswered goals means ZANACO are now the highest scorers of the super league at close of week 15. Fashion Sakala, Saith Sakala and Ziyo Tembo punished Nkwazi and really deserve to be on top as we close week 15.
CONGRATULATIONS ZANACO
*******************************
DRAWS
MUFULIRA WANDERERS 0-0 NAPSA
The only draw of the week was at Mufulira and what would be said the most boring game of the weekend and nothing to be said about the encounter. It was a game that didn’t live the fans expectations and a lot has to be done in the teams. But then NAPSA will be greatly satisfied for getting a point off Mufulira Wanderers away in Mufulira.
**************************
LOSSES
KABWE WARRIORS
If there is one thing that Kabwe Warriors needs to improve is their away form and despite the loss they will be satisfied with the game they played away at Power Dynamos. Good game but a loss leave Kabwe Warriors seventh.
Nothing much to say about Blackpool, they may have played better but the winless streak continues. Played 14, won zero, drew 6 and lost 8 is not good enough to have hopes of staying up in the super league. Blackpool is going down after handing Kabwe Warriors a first win.
GREEN EAGLES
It was expected as Green Eagles don’t score away this season and they would always struggle away in Chingola. Allowed one and it was game over.
RED ARROWS
A Lusaka Derby and there is serious improvement in the Red Arrows team but a loss is very painful for the team to take and that means Red Arrows are just one point away from relegation zone on 15 points.
LUSAKA DYNAMOS
Another loss and Lusaka Dynamos remain in the relegation zone with serious work needed to be done. 2-0 at home to Forest Rangers is close to being described as disaster for the Elite boys. Things are not right.
MUFULIRA BLACKPOOL
The same old story and the team slowly getting to be confirmed as one team that will be heading back to the zones. The team did not show any motivation and the players are so off. Nothing good so far coming from the Mufulira outfit. Week fifteen, no win and now they have conceded 22, the highest in the league.
LUMWANA RADIANTS
It’s never easy playing in Mazabuka and it showed again with Lumwana goal keeper red carded. Radiants remain in the relegation zone.
NKANA
Gets into the location of losses for the second time this season and it’s a painful loss especially that they know they also give up on the leadership of the log table for the first time this season. Not good weekend for the NKANA fraternity. They don’t seem to manage to beat ZESCO.
NKWAZI
3-0 loss was not what I expected from the Nkwazi side that has been very good at the back but that just tells you what a team ZANACO is building and for Nkwazi, they have to get back to see what is not working.
*******************************
MY STATISTICS FOR WEEK NINE
Number of Goals scored: 16
BEST TEAM OF WEEK SIX FOR ME
FOREST RANGERS
I will give it to ZESCO UNITED, the continued beating of Nkana and this time away is a big result for ZESCO and that means a lot for the Ndola outfit apart from pride. WELL DONE ZEGA.
MOST IMPROVED
FOREST RANGERS
Forest Rangers are on a rise, travelling away to get three points in Lusaka is one serious sign of what Patrick Phiri is doing at Forest Rangers
MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAM
MUFULIRA BLACKPOOL
It’s just not happening and they don’t play like a team that is fighting for anything. Things are looking back
FIGHT RELEGATION
LUSAKA DYNAMOS
It’s a worrying matter with Dynamos having so much promises before the start of the weekend, I add the team as one team that should actually start fighting relegation.
