Weekend Scorecard

Zesco United defender Billy Mwanza has said he looking forward to  a fruitful Caf club cup return to Morocco after nine years next week.

Mwanza’s last visit to Morocco in continental club competition was in the defunct Caf Cup Winners Cup in 2003 with Power Dynamos when the Kitwe giants were eliminated by Wydad Casablanca at the quarterfinal stage on away goals rule after losing 1-0 away in Casablanca.

This time, Mwanza returns with Zesco face MAS in the Caf Confederation Cup third round, return leg tie during the weekend of June 10-12 in Fez.

Zesco enjoy a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg played on Sunday at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.

“We just have to score an away goal they will be under pressure because they will be coming from behind,” Mwanza said.

“Yes, we had so many chances at home but in football 1-0 it is OK. We will go and score even there.”

Mwanza however admitted that Zesco wasted a lot of chances to bury the game at home before heading to Morocco.

The defender also said he was also pleased with his performance in his first Caf club game since he was hurt by a fire flare in Egypt three weeks ago when Al Ahly eliminated Zesco from the Caf Champions League.

“We could have scored more than one but it was very difficult,” he said. “I missed two games when I had the wound and my fitness wasn’t good but I did my best and our job as defenders is to defend and they didn’t score.”

Zesco need a draw in the return leg to secure their passage to the Confederation Cup group stage.
