In a tightly contested Super League match on November 2, 2025, Power Dynamos claimed a crucial victory against Nkwazi, winning 1-0 at the Arthur Davies Stadium. The result not only lifted the Dynamos into the upper half of the standings but also highlighted Nkwazi's ongoing struggles in their quest for success this season.
The solitary goal came from striker Musa Phiri, whose precise finish in the second half proved to be the difference-maker. This victory marked an important moment for Power Dynamos, as they had come off a solid performance just days earlier against Nchanga Rangers and were looking to build momentum after a mixed bag of results. With this win, they now sit in 10th place with 11 points from six matches, showing signs of improvement after a rocky start that included two draws and one loss in their previous five league outings.
On the other hand, Nkwazi remains mired at the bottom end of the table, currently positioned 14th with just six points from nine matches. They have yet to secure a victory this season, suffering three losses and racking up six draws-a feat that speaks to their inability to convert chances into wins. Their last two games ended in stalemates, including a recent draw against Red Arrows. Today's encounter continued that trend and demonstrated Nkwazi's persistent challenges in front of goal.
The match unfolded with both teams showing moments of promise but struggling to find consistent rhythm on offense. Power Dynamos showcased their attacking intent early on but found themselves thwarted by Nkwazi's defense for much of the first half. The pressure eventually paid off when Phiri struck in the 62nd minute, seizing an opportunity created by diligent buildup play from his teammates. His goal prompted relief among Dynamos fans who had seen their team toil without finding the back of the net in previous matches.
While Power Dynamos celebrated this critical triumph, Nkwazi was left searching for answers as they continue to grapple with their winless streak. Striker Chanda Mwila, who has been under immense pressure to deliver goals for his team, found few openings throughout the game and could not capitalize when opportunities arose.
Looking ahead, Power Dynamos will seek to build on this success as they prepare for their next challenge against Nkana on November 5. If they can harness today's momentum into further victories, they may well climb even higher in league standings and move closer to contention for a top spot.
Nkwazi will have no time to dwell on today's disappointment as they face Mines next week - another must-win match if they wish to turn around what has so far been a grim season. For them, every game is increasingly vital if they hope to escape their current predicament.
Reflecting on my earlier predictions before this match-where I pointed out that Power Dynamos needed Phiri's scoring touch-I find myself relieved that he delivered when it mattered most. As we assess today's outcome within both teams' narratives, it becomes clear that while one side took significant steps forward, the other remains firmly entrenched in challenges that are proving harder than anyone anticipated.
