MTN Super League Week 3 Wrap: Illondo Double Lifts Nchanga as Power and Warriors
The final three games of Week 3 wrapped up with a mix of joy, frustration, and missed chances.
- Nchanga Rangers 2-0 Mufulira Wanderers
Rangers grabbed all three points in Chingola thanks to a brace from Illondo, who struck in the 12th and 60th minutes. The win was almost capped off in added time when Gift Sikaonga’s header rattled the post from a Bwembya cross. - Mines United 0-0 Power Dynamos
Defending champions Power Dynamos were held to a frustrating goalless draw by newcomers Mines United at Railway Stadium. Despite enjoying possession, the champions couldn’t find the breakthrough. - Nkwazi 0-0 Kabwe Warriors
In Lusaka, Nkwazi and Kabwe Warriors cancelled each other out in a cagey affair that offered little cutting edge up front, leaving both sides with a point apiece.
That officially closes out Match Week 3, a round that saw big names stumble, debut wins celebrated, and Illondo firing Rangers to joy. But the bigger story remains the lack of goals — Zambia’s strikers look blunt, struggling to convert chances and leaving matches decided by scraps.
If the forwards don’t wake up soon, this Super League season might just be remembered more for missed opportunities than magical finishes.
