Emmanuel Banda was on target while there was action for Klings Kangwa and Edward Chilufya as Europe’s elite Competitions took centre stage in midweek.
In Denmark, Zambian midfield general Emmanuel Banda put in an impressive full 90 minutes shift for Djurgadens IF who recorded a 4-2 win over KAA Gent in a UEFA Europa Conference League tie.
Banda scored Djurgadens 3rd goal and went on to pay tribute to Enock Mwepu who was forced to retire on Monday after he was diagnosed with a hereditary heart condition.
The condition, which can worsen over time, would put Enock at an extremely high risk of suffering a potentially fatal cardiac event, if he were to continue playing competitive football.
The win takes Djurgardens to their appearance in the Knockout stages of a Major continental Competition since the 1955/56 European Cup campaign.
Djurgadens stay top with 10 points and two matches left to play.
In Hungary, Klings Kangwa came off the Red Star Belgrade bench at the 26th minute mark to replace injured Ivorian striker Sekou Sanogo and put in a very good shift.
Kangwa and his Red Star Belgrade teammates were however on the losing end as they suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League.
The loss means Belgrade need to win their last two games to stand a chance of continuing in the Competition or dropping to the Conference League.
In the Netherlands, Edward Chilufya was a late substitute in the FC Midtjylland 2-2 draw with Feyenoord in their UEFA Europa League away encounter at the De Kuip in Rotterdam.
