Lwandamina not getting carried away

Zesco United coach George Lwandamina

Zesco United coach George Lwandamina is staying very modest despite his side sneaking up into second place on the Faz Super League table.

The defending champions beat Napsa Stars 2-0 away in Lusaka on Wednesday to jump from sixth to second on the table on 12 points from four matches with four games in hand.

Zesco’s win, that came courtesy of a Jesse Were brace, saw them move within four points of the leaders and unbeaten Nkana.

“It is just one of those games that has seen us pick up three points and we are still looking forward to more games to come,” Lwandamina said.

The victory saw Zesco also pick up back-to-back wins on the road just four days after they defeated Green Eagles 1-0 in Choma.

“Playing Wednesday and Saturday plus the travelling has not been easy but we will make sure we plan very well for the next game,” Lwandamina said.

Zesco return home this Saturday to face second-from-bottom Mufulira Blackpool.

Victory at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola this weekend will see them move within one point of Nkana who only play on Sunday at home against Lusaka Dynamos in Kitwe.

The Ndola is chasing a third straight league win this season.
