Zesco United today reached the final of this years BP Top 8 competition after beating Young Arrows 1-0 in the semifinals played at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola.
Zesco will face Lusaka Dynamos in this years BP Top 8 final after the latter beat Zanaco 2-1 at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka this afternoon on their way to making a debut final appearance in the same competition.
Zesco secured their first BP Top 8 final place in 21 years thanks to a second half-goal from midfielder Innocent Mwaba.
At Nkoloma, Dynamos were made to work hard for their win by Zanaco in a semifinal match that saw all three goals come in the opening 45 minutes of the game.
Mwelwa Sakala put Dynamos ahead in the 30th minute before Zanaco’s Zambia international striker Roger Kola equalized 8 minutes later for the 3-time BP Top 8 champions.
Ex-Zambia international striker Philemon Chipeta secured Dynamos passage to the finals with the winner
just before the half-time whistle.
Zesco and Dynamos will face-off in the BP Top 8 final on November 8 at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola.
2007 champions Kabwe Warriors failed to defend their title this year after Young Arrows beat them 2-1 in the quarterfinals played on September 20 at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.
Power 90! Go get them.
Ha ha ha. Silly me. Good luck to Lusaka Dynamos.
Tough Luck Young Arrows…….”.Back to the Drawing board”
Zesco United FC. is the best sponsored team in Zed at the moment. Now Zesco please dont just think of BP top 8. Think of the CAF champions league. You can do better than Dynamo of Zimbabwe.
# 1. Rogue Trader, that was ba Dinamo alright but not Power. Lusaka Dynamoes face ZANACO again this week.
5. Thanks. Is their next encounter a league game?
Rogue smokes daga
It took you that long to figure out!
Is it me or is this the Liverpool kit I can see? The badge if I can figure out is the Scourcers!
True, that indeed looks like Liverpool FC, with Sissoko wearing it lol. Zesco is running things nice.
Can comeone explain why Lusaka Dynamos is in a liverpool jersey?
Wow! Didnt notice that. They are advertising Carlsberg for free when they should be advertising Zenon. Reminds me of Rumlex FC in1994. They were promoted to the premiership and they chose to don the Bafana Bafana jersey.
Oopss! Should have been Scoucers not Scourcers in my earlier post #9.
This is funny and ludicrous to be honest. Those of you who know law, wouldn`t this land Lusaka Dynamos into trouble? If not then the Scoucers are happy because like someone has said above, they are advertising Scoucers and Carlsberg for free.
lol!
William njovu has been called upcoming midfield general, why has he been neglected now by Renard?
11. Logic, even before the Credit Crunch, Zambian football had a money crunch. It is cheaper to buy replica jerseys and use them in teams.I do not support the practice though. I have seen Lusaka Dynamoes wearing an old Manchester United replica jersey complete with logo in a league game before. This was against Power Dynamoes at Queensmead Stadium in Lusaka last year and the game ended 0-0.
He was injured at some point so Renard conviniently left him out. HH was left out too until the defence was leaking buckets. It has to do with
# 14. Anonymous, Any player from Hanif Adam’s team is unlikely to feature prominently seeing that Renard is in the Kalu. That is why HH used to be left behind until we were leaking buckets at the back and he could not be ignored after his performances in AFCON ’08 and CHAN.
Ba Ole ngako akamembela eyashani?
Chipeta two goals in two games for LD, Not a bad come back.
#18 sinina vere zemuku kamba bati.
Thanks Ba Ole , I now gat the whole picture, but that is realy sad
eish. why do men like football. Lusaka times can we have fashion and food for ladies.
Perhaps we can have tips on the blog. Plus issues of dieting. Football………………..boring for ladies.No female participation.
the players look in good shape but the stadia in zambia should be improved, look at the lime paint on the wall
The boy with captains arm band is not your perfect epitomy of Zambian footballers’ physiognomy because he is actually a ‘big boy’. Zambians are naturally smaller in build.
Stadia in Zambia is in bad shape especially Shinde, Chilata and others.
Zed Chick – is your point to have less space for football or just to have fashion. I am made to believe there is no such thing as Zambian fashion but that fashion in Zambia is influenced by America mostly. If that is the case then visit American sites. Besides there is more on this site than just football.
Zed Chick. Ever tried going to a church and asking why they dont have moslems as well? This is a football story.
You are right, i have just confirmed that the jersey is a liverpool replica. With Liverpool label and name on it. Apparently, the LD label wore out
Iwe ka Zed Chick #22.
Abasungu are naturally fat and hypocrites. Not long ago, they used to laugh at our women for having bokosi. Jlo springs up and they suddenly start paying to have their bums done.
It really piss*s me off to find a black girl on the beach in her bikini lying in temperatures of 28 degrees! Honestly someone tell me why! Other than getting even darker and getting sun burns why would one do such a thing?
Ho Ho Ho! My sister stop reading magazines.
Ho Ho Ho!
I TOLD U GUYZ LUSAKA D IZ THE BEST TEAM IN LSK AT THE MOMENT.ZESCO U ARE NEXT WAPYA NA MALAITI YOBE!O THA WAY GUYZ M BEHIND U.ELITE MWELA ONSE
May be Liverpool danated a replica jersey to L.D
ZANACO are also in AC Milan jersey.
By the way who told Zed chick to read about football if she is not interested.
If only zambian companies would be sharp enough to realise the benefits of branding local teams. Here we are with people from all over the world noticing the foreign stuff written on our so-called jerseys. But yaba! Akaso kalipaya!
Nkoloma Stadium, that is where German and other teams will come to practice before the World Cup, so says GRZ.
African seeds established(FIFA.com) Monday 13 October 2008
The five seeded teams for the final round of African qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ have been established. Regional powers Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire will sit out front as the continent’s vanguard.
The seeds were established according to the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. In addition to the four seeds, 15 other African nations have reached the final round of qualifying – 12 group winners from the first group stage which concluded at the weekend and the eight best runners up.
The remaining 15 teams were grouped into pots based on their global raning
Pot 1 (Seeds)
Cameroon
Egypt
Ghana
Nigeria
Côte d’Ivoire
Pot 2
Guinea
Morocco
Tunisia
Mali
Algeria
Pot 3
Burkina Faso
Gabon
Zambia
Kenya
Benin
Pot 4
Rwanda
Togo
Mozambique
Sudan
Malawi
Using the above pots you can predict how the groups will be arranged. Pot1 is the main seeds. One team from each pot will be given a group. Good Luck Zambia.
It is a great pity for FAZ to sink so low and allow teams in the Premier League to wear EPL replica shirts. This really shows you how low standards in football have fallen pa ZED. No wonder stadia are nearly empty when the games are on
As for the Chipolopolo the hard work begins now. No matter what pool we shall be in, preparations must begin in earnest. The draws will be on on 22 October 2008 in Zurich
