Zanaco Dispatch Struggling Chambishi Comfortably

Zanaco made light work of an ailing Chambishi side, beating them 2-0 in Thursday’s delayed FAZ Super Division match.

Playing at home in the Sunset Stadium in Lusaka, Zanaco were by far the better side and came out of the blocks quickly to open the scoring after just 5 minutes. The opening goal was well taken by winger Ernest Mwebe.

Just 9 minutes later the Bankers had doubled their lead, as Emmanuel Manda got in to score in the 14th minute. 

The game was delayed as Zanaco returned to domestic action following their involvement in the CAF Champions League, where they are Zambia’s only remaining representative. 

“I think the most important thing is the victory we got but again the conversion rate, I think we had so many chances where we could have scored a lot of goals. At the end of the day it was not an easy game,” said Zanaco coach Kelvin Kaindu

Meanwhile, Chambishi coach Kaunda Simonda said, “We are lacking players that can take the ball into the net. We are doing everything possible that is required in football but the end product is what we are lacking.” 

The win moves Zanaco two places up to number 13 on 17 points from 12 matches played.

Promoted side Chambishi remained bottom of the table on 12 points after playing 15 matches.
