Dynamos 2-0 Forest –
A CLATOUS Chama masterclass at Sunset Stadium sent Lusaka Dynamos back to the top of MTN-FAZ Super League table as Patrick Phiri got his revenge against his former side Forest Rangers yesterday.
Chama scored one and created another as the big spenders made it three wins on the trot, taking them to 42 points, one better than second-placed Zesco United who crashed at home to Nkana.
Dynamos coach Phiri said the victory was sweet revenge after losing 1-0 to Forest away in Ndola in the first round of the league campaign.
“It’s a good three points. It keeps us focused on our league title campaign. We have been consistent and want to bring honours to the club,” Phiri said.
In an early kick-off, Dynamos scored in the 22nd minute through Clatous Chama who unleashed a thunderbolt from long range from a Fwayo Tembo cross. He then turned provider five minutes to the break, crossing for Darcy Mbaka who headed home to double the lead.

“They managed to get an early goal and it disturbed us but we were still the better side in today’s game,” said a defiant Mutapa.

Diego Apanane’s 45 metres free kick in the 72nd minute beat Banda in the Zesco goal who was caught off guard as the ball went under his stretched hands to hand Nkana the three points and restored their battered pride, as the travelling supporters broke into song.
Zesco defender Ben Adama Bahn should be kicking his heels after he missed a penalty early in the 26th minute after Nkana’s Aaron Katebe handled in the box but he hit the cross bar and watched agonisingly as the ball bounced out.
The loss left the Ndola outfit second on the log with 41 points while Nkana moved up to fifth with 38 points.

And Napsa Stars coach Tenant Chilumba expressed disappointment that the team failed to excute the game plan.
“It’s a painful loss; we failed to play the game as we had planned. We managed to come back different in the second half but it was too late. We have to go back to our drawing board and start afresh,” he said.
Davy Kalandanya put the police side in the lead in the eighth minute when he unleashed a thunderbolt outside the box after benefiting from a Jubell Sakala through ball.

Arrows goalkeeper Kenny Mumba gifted the lead to the home side with a bizarre own goal less than 10 minutes into the second half when he failed to handle a long throw in from Warriors defender Thandi Mwape.

Tension was visible around the Godfrey Chitalu Stadium with Chikwanda resigned to witnessing what would have been Worriors’ 14th draw of the season when Bibobindu scored with three minutes remaining.
