                     Zesco United F.C. of Zambia popularly called “Team Ya Ziko” has progressed to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup (CCC) after defeating Enugu Rangers of Nigeria by 3-0 in the Second leg of their CCC qualification match played on the 15^th of April, 2017 in Ndola Zambia.

 

Team Ya Ziko came out smoking from the blast of the whistle as John Ching Andu put the host ahead in the 25^th minute of the match when a put a shot past the goal Keeper of The Flying Antelopes Nana Bonsu which hit the right goal post and sailed into the net. Ching Andu also doubled the score line after he connected a cross with head which sailed into the embrace of Nana’s net in the 35^th minute. Zesco weren’t done yet as they made it 3-0 through a nicely placed shot from Jesse Were which sailed into the top right corner of the net in the 65^th minute to end Rangers’ journey in the 2017 CAF Confederations Cup.

Rangers who arrived about 2hours to the kick-off of the match left the stadium empty handed and the coach blamed the loss to the tiredness of his players resulting from the journey.

Zesco moves to the next round of the competition after a 5-2 aggregate win. The first leg encounter at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium (christened “the Cathedral”) Enugu, Nigeria ended in a 2-2 draw after Enugu Ranger took a 2-0 first half lead.
