Power who came into the match with their tails up having collected maximum points in their opening three outings and not conceding a goal were humbled by a Salulani Phiri lone goal.
The U23 midfielders goal pushed the Bankers 2 points clear on top of the log relegating Power to second position though Power still have a game in hand.

Tenant talks too much. Have you seen now. Congrats ZANACO. In football you have to have not only hot air but a complete strategy from the off field psycology to the games tactics being spot on. Kubwatabwata chabe.
Somehow i agree with your comment on my personal friend TC-kekekekeke. Power were very flat today and just gave the initiative to Zanaco who started with two overweight strikers Moses Phiri and Venacious Mapande (just wondering why our coaches like playing names as these two strikers during my days as a defender would be substituted within 10mins-i mean it). Where are our dieticians and physical trainers in our game to allow such young to start looking like madalas like me????
Hard luck Power it was always going to be tough playing Zanaco
Venecious Mapande is this poor finisher alive??
