Nchanga Rangers head coach Robert Tembo has urged his team to remain consistent in the remaining games if they are to meet their goals for this season.

The Rangers beat Athletico Lusaka 2-1 on Sunday to extend their lead in the league standings.

“We have really worked hard for us to beat them; that was the mentality in training and that’s exactly what we did in the match.”

Tembo wants Super League return

We face the Aguila Stars next; they are so young; they play the same type of football,” Tembo.  said. “So we shall go back to our drawing board and see what we need to do more because the second round is tense. We shouldn’t be dropping points anyhow; we just have to remain focused for us to achieve our targets.”
