It was a dream debut goal for John Mark Makwata,
that saw ZESCO United leave Mufulira with 3 points in the bag as the beat
Mufulira Wanderers by 2-nil on Sunday afternoon.
Following a goalless first half, in the second
half, ZESCO United took the game to Wanderers with the intention of finding
their first goal. Both Makwata and veteran striker, Winston Kalengo proved a
great menace for Wanderers defenders.
A good interchange of passes between Were and
Mwila Phiri saw the latter power through a great cross that was flicked into
the back of the net by Kalengo, leaving Wanderers goalkeeper, Joshua Titima
with no chance.
In the 89’ ZESCO United doubled the lead after a
brilliant exchange of passes between Were and Makwata with the latter unlocking
a powerful shot at close range to register his debut goal.
In post-match interview Makwata said: “It wasn’t
easy but I thank my teammates because they helped me a lot to settle in faster,
including the technical bench. They made me to settle in the game too,
especially that it was my first game.
It is sweet to score in my first game and I am
grateful to my teammates because they made life easy for me. I only had three
days of training with the rest of the team. It is an important result for us
and for me personally because it gives me a lot of confidence. I want to work
extra hard and help my team win a lot of games by scoring goals.”
Zesco United's next match is on Sunday against Power Dynamos at the Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
