Chipolopolo Midfielder Kings Kangwa Delivers Yet Again
Zambian midfield dynamo Kings Kangwa continued his outstanding form in the Israeli Premier League, delivering a goal and an assist as Hapoel Be’er Sheva defeated Maccabi Haifa 4-1 on Monday night. The Chipolopolo star was instrumental in his club’s win, helping them stay top of the table on goal difference.
The Zambia national team midfielder first set up Dan Biton for the opener in the 45th minute, displaying great awareness and creativity in the final third. Just moments later, Kangwa doubled the lead with a powerful strike from close range, capping off a stunning end to the first half.
22 Goal Involvements and Counting
This latest performance takes Kangwa’s tally to 22 goal involvements this season — 13 goals and 9 assists — underlining his status as one of Zambia’s most in-form players heading into the upcoming international window.
Kangwa’s contribution didn’t end at halftime. His presence continued to disrupt Haifa’s midfield as Alon Turgeman and Amir Chaim Ganah added further goals to complete the 4-1 demolition.
Be’er Sheva Remain Top of the League
Thanks to this emphatic win, Hapoel Be’er Sheva remain level on points with Maccabi Tel Aviv, both on 74 points, but lead the Israeli Premier League standings on goal difference.
Kangwa’s consistency has been a major driving force behind Be’er Sheva’s title challenge, and his name is now being mentioned among the league’s best foreign players this season.
What This Means for Zambia
Kangwa’s form is a huge boost for Chipolopolo head coach Avram Grant, who will be looking to build a competitive squad for the next round of FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations campaign. With players like Kangwa thriving abroad, Zambia’s midfield engine is running strong.
Conclusion
Kings Kangwa’s brilliance in Israel is more than just personal success — it’s a beacon of Zambian football excellence on the international stage. As Be’er Sheva push for the title, Zambia’s No. 10 is peaking at just the right time.
