Kalaba’s Brace Helps Set Up Mazembe, Pirates Clash
Rainford Kalaba was in sizzling form as he helped TP Mazembe has set up the anticipated CAF Champions league quarter final with South African glamour side Orlando Pirates after they butchered Centre Chiefs of Botswana by 6 – 0.
Zambia international midfielder Rainford Kalaba starred in the match after he scored a brace and earned the penalty for his team. It only took him seven minutes to get off the mark with an assist from Patou Kabangu.
10 minutes later Kalaba was at it again and found his way in the box where he was pulled down for a penalty which was duly converted by Tresor Mputu.
The petit attacking midfielder completed his brace in the 35th minute before Samatta Mbwana, Mputu and Eric Nkulukuta added their names on the score sheet in the second half.
Hichani Himonde is the other Zambian player who started the match while Jonas Sakuwaha and Given Singuluma started on the bench.
Mazembe qualify on a 7 – 0 aggregate scoreline.
In Sudan, Jackson Mwanza played 20 minutes but his contribution was not enough to save El Merreikh from an embarrassing 1 – 2 home loss to Agolan side Recreativo do Lobolo who proceed to the next stage via a 4 – 2 aggregate scoreline.
Jack Chileshe’s Primero de Agosto went down by a goal to Esperance of Tunisia to bow out of the competition on a 2 – 0 aggregate scoreline.
In South Africa Supersport United booted out Felix Katongo’s Petro de Luanda via a 2 – 0 aggregate scoreline.
Davies Nkausu completed the match while Clifford Mulenga did not make the bench. Felix did not travel with his team as he was still recovering from an illness.
Zambian champions Zanaco fell short as well after they lost 2 – 1 Orlando Pirates.

good game Kalaba, but its true you should reduce on chiks, i have personally seen you have more than 3 girlfriends from kasumbalesa to chingola in 2rd street,you like coming to pick that coloured chik with your x5 BMW, not to talk of another coloured chik again in chingola and the mother is an official working for Zesco,you are a good player but organise yourself man
