Mbesuma Shines, Clifford Sees Red

Share

Collins Mbesuma scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season on Saturday in Golden Arrows while his Zambia team mate Clifford Mulenga saw red on Sunday.

Mbesuma scored his brace for Arrows in their 4-1 home win over Maritzburg United on Saturday.

Mbesuma found the target in the target in the 38th and 51st minutes before he was substituted in the 76th minute.

The striker is now just four goals off the pace of top scorer Siyabonga Nomvethe of Moroka Swallows with 10 league games to go before the South African championship title is decided.

And Mulenga saw red in the final minute of Bloemfontein Celtics 1-0 home win over Santos after a bust-up with defender Wayne Arendse.

  1. ba guy aba taba kacinje, the only Zambian player I still respect so much is Whiteson Changwe. The guy was smart. Even when fouled would never hit back, he was a defender. He died off the coast of Gabon.

  2. Good job Mbesuma make sure you stay in shape and sharp in front of goal. This is encouraging indeed. We need you in the WC 2014 qualifiers. Ba Clifford ngaimwe chaba shani lyonse ni mu chibe….? I had greatly hoped you had changed completely for the better after the AFCON saga.

  3. # 2 and 3 u r very right. Peter Mwanza was a calm defender. He played in all the games Zambia played at the Soul 1988

  4. I watched a clip of Cliffords red card. It looked to me like he was trying to separate two players who wanted to fight and got a red card for it. Am I right ?, could someone who watched the whole incident shed some light.

  5. I watched the entire game yesterday.Actually the officials got it wrong.Clifford was just separating the two players who wanted to fight after one was fauled.Celtic has to appeal against that red card it was not genuine.

  6. The Santos player was kicking the other player from Celtic who was down and instead Clifford reiterated,not trying to separate the two. watch it carefully
    tonight at sabc 1 soccer zone(9pm)

  7. LT what iz this “saw red” kind of reporting? Az if puting “seez red” in the headline iz not ambigious enough, you must go on to say the same in the main body of the story! Reporting iz about informing the readership and not leaving them to wonder what happened.

  8. You are not right no 9. He got a yellow for being involved in scuffle,(ref got it wrong here)then he tried to protest but ref did not listen THEN he went to the ball and kicked it to show he was not happy then he go a red card.

  9. Despite all that jazz about Mbesuma being crap, the man helped Zambia qualify to AFCON which led to the inevitable win. Mukali uyu, Top ranking scorer in SA, doesnt come without possessing serious skills. He is a renowned International player. Its a pity his stint at Portsmouth was cut short. Friends who visited him in the UK confirmed he had a niggling hidden injury, failing to perform effectively.(Others would disagree-Typical Zedian vibe to undermine some one who is doing well and successful in their chosen career).

    Is it true however that he got his mate Clifford drunk on the night out in Gabon? Should keep off the dopes…tu giligili.
