Champions Nkana’s survival battle took an ominous turn on Wednesday when they squandered a one-nil lead to lose 2-1 and hand bottom placed Kitwe United their first league victory of the season in a Kitwe derby played at Arthur Davies Stadium.
Prior to their derby demotion dogfight triumph, United had collected just 8 points from their last 22 games heading into this lunchtime kick off of the Arthur Davies doubleheader while Nkana were winless in their last five with just 1 point to show for it.
Nkana started off on a promising note when Fred Tshimenga put them ahead in the 2nd minute.
