Coach Numba Mumamba’s side put up a spirited second half performance that saw the hosts concede two goals.
“We are very excited with the victory. The players accounted for themselves very well unlike when we played Kafue Celtic. The team showed a lot of character of a champion that’s why we have bagged the three points.
“The overall performance from everyone was good. Everyone did what we expected them to do. That’s the more reason we dominated the game. We are very happy with the attitude. This is a great motivation as we prepare to face Nkana on Saturday.”
