Drama, Goals & Heartbreak – MTN Super League Week 6 Delivers Another Thrilling Round
The MTN Super League once again provided a full package of excitement in Week 6, with tight contests, late drama, and statement victories across the country. As the season continues to take shape, several teams are beginning to show early title credentials while others are already under pressure.
Kangwanda Inspires Red Arrows Past MUZA
Red Arrows kept their unbeaten start intact with a narrow but important 1-0 victory over FC MUZA.
Albert Kangwanda proved decisive once again, scoring the only goal of the match in the 76th minute to secure all three points in a closely fought encounter.
MUZA created chances but lacked the final touch, something head coach Noel Phiri admitted cost his side a positive result. Red Arrows, meanwhile, continue to show consistency and defensive discipline early in the season.
Zanaco Edge Kabwe Warriors in Five-Goal Classic
Zanaco FC produced one of the standout performances of the weekend, beating Kabwe Warriors 3-2 in a thrilling contest at Sunset Stadium.
Warriors struck first through Killian Kanguluma, but Zanaco responded strongly with Eliya Mandanji scoring twice to turn the game around. Dalitso Phiri added a third to put Zanaco in control.
Kabwe Warriors refused to go quietly, with Simon Tonga pulling one back, but Zanaco held firm to secure another win and maintain their strong start to the campaign.
Nchanga Rangers Continue Strong Form
Nchanga Rangers kept their momentum going with a valuable 2-1 away win over Mines United.
Goals from Lukeza Sama and Mwiza Siwale were enough to secure victory, despite a response from Nicholas Mulilo.
The result strengthens Rangers’ position among the early pace-setters as they continue to quietly build a strong season.
Mutondo Stars Narrowly Beat Nkwazi
Mutondo Stars picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nkwazi, thanks to a composed finish from Boaster Sioma.
Nkwazi once again struggled in attack, failing to convert their chances as pressure begins to mount on their campaign.
Nkana and Konkola Blades Share Spoils
At Konkola Stadium, Nkana FC were held to a goalless draw by Konkola Blades.
While Nkana showed defensive stability, their search for a first win of the season continues, raising early concerns about consistency in front of goal.
Mufulira Wanderers Held by Kansanshi Dynamos
Mufulira Wanderers and Kansanshi Dynamos played out a second 0-0 draw of the weekend, with both sides cancelling each other out in a cautious encounter.
Kansanshi remain without a win, while Wanderers continue to show defensive organisation but lack cutting edge in attack.
Late Drama as Leopards Deny Green Eagles
One of the most dramatic finishes of the week came at Independence Stadium, where FC Leopards snatched a 96th-minute equaliser through Erick Etienne.
Green Eagles had taken the lead earlier through Boris Tchatou, before Gibson Banda levelled the match. Kamumena Chipa then appeared to have won it for Eagles, only for Etienne’s last-gasp strike to rescue a point for Leopards.
Buffaloes and NAPSA Share Goalless Draw
Green Buffaloes and NAPSA Stars played out a tense 0-0 draw at Edwin Imboela Stadium.
Both sides showed defensive organisation but struggled to create clear chances, settling for a point each in a match defined more by structure than attacking quality.
Season Heating Up Early
Week 6 once again highlighted the unpredictable nature of the MTN Super League, with early momentum building for teams like Zanaco, Red Arrows, and Nchanga Rangers, while others such as Nkana and Kansanshi Dynamos continue to search for rhythm.
With each passing week, the pressure is rising, and the table is beginning to take shape as the season develops.
