Nkwazi Queens have been relegated from the ZPL Women’s Super League following a heavy 3-0 defeat to Konkola Blades Queens, with Towera Nkhata producing a standout performance.
Konkola Blades took control early on, opening the scoring through Purity Kunda, who finished with a delicate lob in the 12th minute. Nkhata doubled the advantage shortly after with a superb long-range free kick, before sealing the result late on with another stunning set-piece effort to confirm Nkwazi’s drop to the Women’s National League.
At Independence Stadium, Amazing Grace staged an impressive comeback to defeat Luyando Foundation Girls 2-1 and boost their survival hopes.
Luyando made a bright start and went ahead inside 10 minutes through Juliet Mulubwa. However, Ruth Muwowo turned the game on its head in the second half, scoring twice in quick succession to secure all three points and move Amazing Grace to 23 points, leaving Luyando still battling to avoid relegation.
Meanwhile, Red Arrows Women also came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Green Eagles at Nkoloma Stadium.
