Zesco Ndola Girls captain Avell Chitundu has written her name into the history books, becoming the first player in the 2025/26 Eden University Women’s Super League to score in four consecutive matches a feat unmatched by any other player this season. Her blistering form has also propelled her to the top of the league’s goal-scoring chart with eight goals, two ahead of Red Arrows winger Mary Mambwe.
Chitundu’s latest strike came in dramatic fashion, scoring an 88th-minute winner in a 1-0 away victory over Zanaco Ladies at Sunset Stadium. Remarkably, this milestone comes shortly after her return from injury sustained during the CAF Women’s Champions League COSAFA Qualifiers, proving her resilience and leadership.
Her current scoring streak began on 2 October against Trident Queens (3–0 win), followed by goals in a 6–0 demolition of Nchanga Rangers, a brace against Konkola Blades in a 4–1 away win, and finally the late winner against Zanaco. The only match she featured in without scoring this season was a 2-1 win over Amazing Grace FC — making her impact nearly faultless.
