Zambia Super League: Jesse Were’s Zesco thrashed by Zanaco

Zesco United suffered their worst Zambian Super League (ZSL) defeat of this season courtesy of a 4-1 drubbing by rivals Zanaco in a Group A match at Lusaka’s Sunset Stadium on Saturday.

Cameroonian midfielder Souleymanou Moussa, Zimbabwean winger Tafadzwa Rusike, Chitiya Mususu and Ernest Mbewe all found the back of the net for the hosts.

John Ching’andu’s strike for Zesco 20 minutes from time was not enough to inspire Team Ya Ziko to a comeback as they failed to win for the fourth straight match.

Zesco appears to have hit a bad patch in a run that includes three draws and Saturday’s defeat, to drop down to fifth spot in Group A of the league.
