Oburu’s performance left a certain section of ZESCO United fans salivating for more from the Kenyan who was enterprising on and off the ball.
Veteran club striker, Winston Kalengo also put in a splendid performance only to be frustrated by the upright from scoring ZESCO United’s first goal.
Mumamba will also look to Collins Sikombe’s intelligence and enterprising runs forward to ensure that the top two strikers are well supplied with ammunition.
The retain of Angolan striker, Pedro Miguel will be a huge boost for ZESCO United as they face Green Buffaloes.
