Zesco United Football club have this time around kissed the dust after failing to clinch their fourth cup victory in 2007. This Team hailing from Zambia's mining town of Ndola on the Copperbelt has put such a splendid performance this year by way of securing three local cup titles to their name. The three tiles are the BP cup, Coca-cola Cup and the Local Premier League, KCM (Konkola Copper Mines sponsored).
On Saturday December 15, 2007, I had the pleasure of seeing Zesco go down to Red Arrows, who are being sponsored by the Zambia Air Force.
Although I support neither Zesco nor Red Arrows, I think Red Arrows was a better side after all.
The two teams were at par after each scoring two goals in 90 minutes. This led to post match penalties but Red Arrows proved too good for Zesco. Even international play maker Rainford Kalaba seemed to be no where on the pitch.
CAPTION-Zesco’s Jonas Sakuwaha tumbles to the ground as Red Arrows’ Joseph Zimba goes away with the ball during the Mosi Cup final match played at Mkoloma Stadium in Lusaka on Saturday December 15, 2007. Red Arrows won 3-2 on post-match penalties.
