FKFPL Ulinzi fire blanks as hapless KCB hold them to a draw in drub encounter
Ulinzi Stars failed to capitalize on getting all the three points against a KCB side in transition as both sides had to settle for a 0-0 draw.
Kansanshi Dynamos 1-0 Napsa
Jesse Jackson Were's Kansanshi got one over his Harambee Stars teammate David ‘Calabar’ Owino’s Napsa Stars to help keep their survival hopes alive.
Were was reinstated to the starting line up and even if he did not score, he helped contribute effectively to his team’s performance which was vital in getting all three points.
Napsa gave away a penalty to Kansanshi Dynamos after Gift Zulu handled the ball in the 18 yard box which was well converted by Dave Daka.
Owino would have wished to be on the pitch in order to prevent his side from getting defeated, considering he has been an integral part of Napsa’s plans.

Chawanangwa Kaonga doubles Zanaco’s lead in the 61st minute to make it 2-0, and even if Trident pulled one back through Graven Chitalu, Zanaco held on to victory to cap off a good weekend for them.
