Nkana and Zesco United played out a goalless draw in a week five match played at Nkana Stadium on Sunday.
The hosts were looking to register a first win in over ten years against their opponents but their spirited attacks were matched by their resilient visitors with both goalkeepers busy and on-form.
Zesco United goalkeeper Jacob Banda was voted the man of the match.
Nkana coach Beston Chambeshi was pleased with getting a point off the league champions.
” I am happy with the way the boys played because we put up a good fight in the second half,” Chambeshi said.
“We had chances to bury the game but their goalkeeper Jacob Banda did a great job. He saved Zesco today.
“But missing chances the way we did means that we need to strengthen our striking force.
“We played against a big team and as much as a draw is disappointing, a point is good for us,” he said.
And Zesco United coach George Lwandamina said that both teams wasted good chances.
“They had chances; we also had chances but both teams failed to convert,” Lwandamina said.
The 2014 coach of the year added that he was not disappointed with the result.
“We take each and every game as it comes. We have played this one and it’s gone. I am not disappointed.
“We now have to concentrate on the rescheduled match against Green Buffaloes on Wednesday. That’s how we plan,” he said
Nkana go Nkana our great God is behind you
