Chipata United FC continued their impressive run in the Group A National League playoffs with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Nakonde Town Council Football Club. The lone goal came from Isaac Zulu, affectionately known as Neymar by his teammates, in the 29th minute. This win marks Chipata United's second consecutive victory in the playoffs, placing them in a strong position to secure a spot in next season's Faz National League One competition. The clash between the unbeaten provincial league sides showcased Chipata United's dominance, as they maintained their undefeated streak throughout the season. Nakonde Town Council Football Club, who also boasted an unbeaten record, struggled to find an answer to Chipata United's resilient defense. Goalkeeper Emmanuel Mphase played a crucial role in Chipata United's triumph, putting on a stellar performance and keeping Nakonde's attacks at bay. His outstanding efforts earned him the well-deserved title of man of the match from fans at Edwin Imboela Stadium, as well as securing a clean sheet for himself and his team. With Nakonde suffering their second defeat in as many games, they now find themselves at the bottom of the group. Chipata United's impressive form and determination have demonstrated their commitment to bringing national league football to the Eastern province. The team now eagerly prepares for their upcoming match, which could potentially secure their promotion to the Faz National Division One, a significant milestone for the province.
