It’s notable that Zanaco emerged as the Zambian champions for the 2011-2012 season with a decisive victory against Nkana. Zanaco secured a 3-0 win with goals from Stephen Phiri, Ziyo Tembo, and Moses Phirito. This victory not only earned them the national championship but also qualified them for the 2013 African Champions League.
Power Dynamos, who were second in the standings just one point ahead of Zanaco before the final day, couldn’t secure a victory against Red Arrows. The 0-1 defeat meant they finished the season in second place with 59 points, trailing behind Zanaco, who finished with 61 points.
Zesco United claimed the third spot on the podium with 54 points, concluding their season on a positive note by defeating Indeni 3-0 at Mwanawasa Stadium. Jackson Mwanza scored twice, and Jimmy Ndhlovu completed the scoring.
These results reflect an exciting and competitive football season in Zambia, with Zanaco emerging as the deserving champions and securing a spot in the prestigious African Champions League for the following year.
