The MTN Super League continues to deliver drama, tension and unforgettable football, and Week 6 was nothing short of explosive. From unbeaten streaks being preserved to title contenders showing their teeth, every match added a new twist to what’s shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory.
🔴 Kangwanda Fires Red Arrows to Victory as MUZA Left Frustrated
Red Arrows maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over FC MUZA. Albert Kangwanda continued his fine form, striking in the 76th minute to seal all three points in a tight contest. Coach Chisi Mbewe praised his side’s resilience, while MUZA boss Noel Phiri lamented missed chances, insisting his team “attacked once and scored.” A masterclass in efficiency from Arrows.
🟠 Mandanji Brace Sinks Warriors in Five-Goal Thriller at Sunset Stadium
Zanaco and Kabwe Warriors delivered the most exciting clash of the weekend, with Zanaco edging a 3-2 victory to maintain their unbeaten run. Killian Kanguluma gave Warriors an early lead, but Eliya Mandanji’s brace and Dalitso Phiri’s strike turned the tie on its head. Even Simon Tonga’s second-half goal couldn’t rescue Warriors, who suffered their first defeat of the campaign. Zanaco go top — Warriors humbled.
🔵 Nchanga Rangers Edge Mines United to Climb Into Second Place
Nchanga Rangers continued their impressive run with a crucial 2-1 away win over Mines United. Lukeza Sama and Mwiza Siwale found the net to secure three points. Though Nicholas Mulilo pulled one back for Mines, it was too little, too late. Rangers now sit firmly among the title contenders.
🟣 Boaster Sioma Strike Earns Mutondo Stars Narrow Win Over Nkwazi
At Arthur Davies Stadium, Mutondo Stars secured their second win of the season thanks to a composed finish from Boaster Sioma. Nkwazi, still searching for their first win, struggled in the final third. A frustrating afternoon for the visitors — and growing pressure on their technical bench.
⚔️ Konkola Blades and Nkana Battle to Stalemate as Nkana Winless Run Continues
A goalless draw at Konkola Stadium saw both sides cancel each other out. Nkana’s wait for their first win stretches on, while Blades will feel they missed an opportunity to climb further up the table.
🟢 Mufulira Wanderers and Kansanshi Dynamos Share the Spoils in Tense Draw
Shinde Stadium saw another 0-0 affair, with neither Wanderers nor Kansanshi Dynamos able to find the breakthrough. Kansanshi remain winless, while Wanderers continue to look solid but blunt in attack.
⚡ Late Drama at Independence as Etienne Denies Green Eagles a Last-Gasp Win
In one of the most dramatic endings of Week 6, FC Leopards’ Erick Etienne scored a 96th-minute equaliser to cancel out what seemed like a match-winning goal from Green Eagles’ Boris Tchatou. Eagles had earlier gone behind to Gibson Banda’s opener before equalising through Kamumena Chipa. A rollercoaster of emotions — with Eagles dropping points they thought they had secured.
🛡️ Buffaloes and Napsa Stars Share the Points in Goalless Stalemate
Edwin Imboela Stadium hosted yet another tight affair as Green Buffaloes settled for their first draw of the season against Napsa Stars. Both teams defended well, but lacked clinical edge in front of goal. An afternoon of frustration rather than fireworks.
Week 6 reminded us why the MTN Super League remains one of Africa’s most unpredictable battlegrounds. From Zanaco’s title credentials to Kabwe Warriors’ first real test of character, from Nchanga’s rise to Nkana’s ongoing struggles — every point is starting to matter. While some teams are grinding their way up the table, others are desperately searching for rhythm.
With confidence high in some camps and pressure mounting in others, all eyes now turn to Week 7 — where unbeaten records will be tested, redemption stories could begin, and new heroes may emerge.
Who will take the next big step? Zambia waits.
