Kabwe Warriors Thrash FC Muza to Break Losing Streak
Kabwe Warriors returned to winning ways with a commanding 3-0 win over FC Muza at the Godfrey Ucar Chitalu Stadium. The Warriors came into this fixture determined to recover after back-to-back losses, having fallen 2-1 to Power Dynamos and 2-0 to Red Arrows. The pressure was on to regain momentum, and they did not disappoint, securing a much-needed three points that pushed them up to fourth place in the league standings with 16 points.
The first half of the match was a cagey affair, with both teams struggling to capitalize on early chances. While FC Muza showed resilience, Kabwe Warriors’ front line was relentless, probing the defense and creating several opportunities. However, it wasn’t until the second half that the game truly came alive.
In the 59th minute, Timothy Sakala broke the deadlock, converting a well-placed shot to give Kabwe Warriors the lead. This goal seemed to rejuvenate the entire squad, sparking an offensive surge that saw them double their lead just six minutes later. The second goal was a testament to Kabwe Warriors’ tactical fluidity, allowing them to quickly exploit gaps in Muza’s defense. Shortly after, Mwamba Mutombo added the third goal in the 68th minute, sealing the victory and leaving FC Muza with no way back.
This victory showcased Kabwe Warriors’ resilience and adaptability under pressure. After two difficult games, it was clear that Head Coach Numba Mumamba had implemented adjustments to shore up their defense while also enhancing their attacking strategy. The team’s midfield played a crucial role, dictating the pace and feeding timely passes to the front line, while the defense was resolute, ensuring Muza couldn’t find a way to respond.
Timothy Sakala’s opening goal was more than just the first score—it was the spark that ignited the team’s performance. His clinical finish set the tone for the remainder of the match, and the Warriors’ quick-fire goals after that demonstrated their attacking depth and willingness to press forward.
Mwamba Mutombo’s late contribution highlights the depth of Kabwe Warriors’ attacking lineup, and his confidence in front of goal will be invaluable as the team moves forward this season. For Kabwe Warriors, this win represents not only a return to form but also a reinforcement of their ambitions to remain in the upper echelons of the league standings.
With this victory, Kabwe Warriors will be riding high in confidence as they look to continue their climb up the league table. Their next fixture will be critical to sustaining this momentum, as each match brings them closer to their ultimate goal of challenging for the top spot. The team’s tactical discipline, combined with newfound scoring prowess, positions them as a formidable opponent for any team in the league.
