Blackpool goalkeeper Charles Mulenga denied Warriors on several occasions. Jacob Phiri saw his shot kept out in spectacular fashion causing frustrations for the supporters.

But it was Warriors who took control of proceedings in the second half with substitute Mwansa Nsofwa’s corner converted by a leaping Lameck Kafwaya who got his 2nd goal in 3 games.

It was bad news for Warriors as well as Mwansa Nsofwa immediately withdrew from the match due to injury and was replaced by Langson Mbewe.
