OSWARD HAMANYUMA JR writes @SunZambianA FIRST half Rodger Kola hatrick propelled Zanaco to a 6-1 victory over Young Green Eagles at Lusaka’s Sunset Stadium.Zanaco have been poor this season after losing 2 and drawing 2 of their opening 6 game.The pressure was mounting on coach Chris Kaunda after shambolic performance against Lusaka Dynamos were they conceded 3 goals but a 6-1 win will erase some of the bad memories of past results.Striker Rodger Kola became the first player in the Super Division to score a hat-trick as the side shot to the top of the 18-team Super Division table with 11 points.Kola broke the deadlock seven minutes after kickoff before midfielder Baba Basile doubled Zanaco’s advantage in the 31st minute.Kola made it 3-0 three minutes later before completing his hat-trick in the 42nd minute as the first half ended 4-0 in favour of the home team.Meanwhile, Ndola giants Zesco United moved to second on the Super Division table after beating Kitwe United 1-0 at Garden Park Stadium in Kitwe.Young Enock Sakala who rescued Zesco from losing to Green Buffaloes on Sunday with a late equaliser in the 1-1 stalemate, scored a lone goal in the 75th minute as Zesco collected the maximum three points to move to 11points, on par with Zanaco who enjoy a better goal difference of five goals compared to Zanaco’s one goal.Numba Mumamba’s faith in youngster like has been greatly paid back after Enock Sakala Jr scored against Buffaloes and now with the winner in Kitwe.At Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka, Nkwazi came from behind to pick their first win of the season after beating Red Arrows 2-1.The police sponsored side came from a goal down to beat Red Arrows this afternoon at Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka. Goalkeeper Charles Muntanga gave Arrows the lead with an own goal but 23 minutes later, attacker Eric Choonba equalised then Pride Mwansa completed the come back to win it for Nkwazi.Nkwazi who are now commanding a superior goal difference than their opponent move from position 14 to 10th place, while the airforce men drop to 11th on the log.Kabwe Warriors shared a point with Buildcon Football Club who had come from behind on three occasions to draw 3-3 at the God-frey Ucar Chitalu stadium.Akakulubrlwa Mwachiaba’s brace was not enough for Warriors to collect maximum points as defender Isaac Shamujompa leveled matters right at the end of the match to spoil Warrior’s party.Green Buffaloes have continued with their good start to the campaign when they kept their 6th clean sheets of the season against Lusaka Dynamos.Green Buffaloes credentials were been when they met a Lusaka Dynamos which scored 3 goal against Zanaco over the past weekend.But the match ended without producing even a single a goal, the GDFC defense has only conceded two goal this season and com-ing up against the Wedson Nyirenda’s tutored side it was yet another real test. – ZAMFOOT
