Nkana crashed out of the Barclays Cup to dash all hopes of a dream Barclays Cup final against archrivals Power Dynamos.
Nkana were beaten 2-1 by Konkola Blades in a Barclays Cup semifinal doubleheader played at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.
Blades took the lead in the 11th minute through Graven Chitalu in a lackluster first half.
Nkana equalized in the 40th minute through their starlet striker Reynold Kampamba after a sweet one-two move with Evans Kangwa.
Blades secured their berth in the final through striker Elson Mkandawire who headed in the ball from a Moses Siansumo cross in the 71st minute.
Both players came on as substitutes in the 54th minute of the match.
Blades will face Power in the final on November 19 at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
Power stayed on course for a league and cup double when they beat Red Arrows 2-0 at Nkoloma in a lunchtime kickoff.
Barclays Cup top scorer striker Luka Lungu opened scores in the 42nd minute.
Lungu raised his tally in the competition to four goals.
Simon Bwalya made it 2-0 in the 57th minute as Power seeks its second ever Barclays Cup triumph since winning it in 2009.
