Kenyan midfielder Justus Anene scored a late equalizer to secure a 1- 1 draw for Napsa Stars away at Kabwe Warriors this Afternoon.

Mwansa Nsofwa gave Warriors the lead in the 14th minute with a long range strike that looped over Philip Banda into the net. 

The home team could have been 2 goals up if they had only taken their chances.

Nsofwa failing to hit the target thanks to good goal keeping from Philip Banda.

The Winger was stretched off the pitch injured late on in the first half sending the young foward in tears.

Warriors went into the break leading by a solitary goal. 

Napsa came out in the second half pushing for the equalizer with Mathews Macha coming close. 

Youremember Banda was a live wire in the second half for Napsa but Marcel Kalonda in the Warriors defense stood strong.

But is was a late equalizer from substitute Justus Anene  in the 88th minute which secured a point for the visitors.

A stinging shot by Youremember Banda was parried into the path of Anene who gladly slotted home.

For Mohammed Fathi it is yet another draw and of course a disappointed Warriors team.

“We should have finished the game off in the first half. We had so many chances but we lost concentration and conceded the late goal,” Fathi said.

And Napsa Assistant coach Linos Makwaza praised his side for the resilience.

“We were playing a very tactical side  who are very good at gome and of course a draw is good for us.”
