Buffaloes gore Konkola Blades

Football | Zambia

 

 

Green Buffaloes recovered from their defeat at the hands of Nkwazi a week ago to record a 2 – 0 win over Konkola Blades in a week 24 fixture played at Woodlands Stadium on Saturday.
Felix Sunzu and Percy Bilyoti both scored in the first half to give the home side all three points. The result means Buffaloes move into 6th position with 37 points.
Buffaloes coach Patrick Phiri was happy with the result.
“It is a good result for us because Blades have been the in-form team in the second round of the league. I am also happy because with this win we have recovered from the 1 – 0 loss we suffered last week,” Phiri said.
Zanaco 2 – 2 Napsa Stars

Reigning champions Zanaco threw away a comfortable 2 – 0 lead to draw 2-2 at home to Napsa Stars. Quick fire goals by Moses Phiri and Aubrey Funga on the half hour mark gave the home side the lead before Harry Milanzi and Martin Tembo restored parity for the two city rivals to share spoils.
The result means Zanaco remain in 5th position with 38 points while Napsa Stars stay in 12th position with 27 points.
