Zesco Malaiti Rangers made a giant step in their quest to survive relegation from the National League after they recorded an impressive 3-1 away victory over relegation bound Kashikishi Warriors in Nchelenge.
It was a game of two different halves after both teams went into the break scoreless but things changed in the second half when Gift Lukwesa opened the scoring just after the hour mark, Kashikishi Warriors then conceded an own goal due to pressure but Kelvin Chansa pulled one back minutes later, Zesco Malaiti Rangers captain Benson Mulenga put them game beyond Kashikishi Warriors with a well taken strike to give his side all three points.
Kafue Celtic is slowly confirming their status as the comeback kings of the National League after they made another impressive comeback yesterday against a City of Lusaka side coached by former Chipolopolo Midfielder Isaac Chansa.
City of Lusaka opened the scoring just after the resumption of the second half but Kafue Celtic came back stronger by scoring two brilliant goals, 22-year-old Malian Siaka Itela opened the scores before Christopher Bwalya sealed the victory for the Crocs.
City of Lusaka had their coach Isaac Chansa sent off as well as their goalkeeper Kambilo.
In a game that looked one-sided considering the current form of the other team, MUZA FC surprised their opponents Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy by two goals to one away in Kabwe.
The other games all ended in draws with Police College holding Mufulira Wanderers to a 1 all scoreline while Livingstone Pirates maintained their unbeaten run at home after they held Nchanga Rangers to a zero-zero stalemate.
