Football fans were treated to a gripping showdown as Red Arrows clashed with FC Muza in a rescheduled Zambia Super League fixture. The match, held at Nkoloma Stadium, lived up to its hype, drawing a near-capacity crowd. In an intense battle on the field, both teams showcased their skills, ultimately resulting in a 1-1 draw.
The home side, Red Arrows, seized the initiative in the first half of the match, capitalizing on a defensive error that led to a goal. It was the former golden boot winner Ricky Banda (2021) who found the back of the net for Red Arrows in the 17th minute, giving his team an early advantage.
FC Muza, determined not to leave empty-handed, mounted a spirited comeback. Their opportunity came when Andrew Phiri was fouled at the edge of the 18-yard box. In a dramatic turn of events, Rickson Ngambi, coming off the bench, expertly curled the ball into the top corner, beating Red Arrows’ goalkeeper Charles Kalumba. This stunning strike occurred in the 84th minute of the second half, leveling the score and igniting celebrations among Muza’s supporters.
Coach Mathews Ndhlovu of Red Arrows made three strategic changes to his starting lineup, aiming to maintain their winning momentum after a victory against Motondo Stars in a week 3 fixture at Nakambala Stadium. One notable change was the introduction of Emmanuel Manda, a new signing, who replaced Rickson Ngambi on the right flank. Monga Ndala was another player who was rested, likely in preparation for the upcoming home CAF Confederation game at Heros Stadium scheduled for next Sunday.
The clash between Red Arrows and FC Muza delivered a captivating spectacle that had fans on the edge of their seats. Both teams displayed their prowess on the field, resulting in a hard-fought 1-1 draw. This match demonstrated the unpredictability and excitement that the Zambia Super League brings to football enthusiasts, leaving everyone eagerly anticipating the next fixtures and outcomes.
