Ten-man Nkana FC posted a 3-1 win over Asante Kotoko in their CAF Confederation Cup group stage match on Sunday.
Ronald ‘Sate Sate’ Kampamba scored a brace with Freddie Tshimenga netting from the spot.
Beston Chambeshi looked to have tweaked his tactics as he played a double pivot of Shadreck Malambo and Duncan Otieno with enterprising Kelvin Kampamba on the tip of the midfield three.
Nkana captain Walter Bwalya got the opening chance when he beat Ismail Abdhu on the right only for the defender to bring him down in the box for a penalty.
Tshimenga stepped up to score from the spot in the 21st minute.
Kotoko were quickly back in attack and Richard Ocran pulled down a Ghanaian attacker just outside the box a minute a later.
Yacouba Songwe stepped up and his well taken effort clipped the crossbar near Allan Chibwe’s right angle for the equalizer in the 23rd minute.
Nkana then benefited from a lapse in defense by the visitors for Bwalya to head Kampamba into space.
They extended their lead in the 53rd minute when Kampamba sneaked in between the huge defenders to head home a Gift Zulu cross to just about seal the game for the hosts.
