Indeni Football Club recorded their first-ever win of the season, beating Zanaco Football Club 3-2 at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka in a Week 18 MTN Super League encounter.

The Ndola side failed to register a win in the first round of the season.

Despite only collecting six points in 18 matches, their head coach, Keegan Syabeene, is still confident the team will survive relegation.

Syabeene stated that Indeni will not rule itself out of the race to survive relegation as there are many more games to play.

“It’s still a long way to go; we’ve 16 games ahead. So, we won’t rule ourselves out because the same way we have started picking points, we just have to enhance performance, and obviously we try to fight until the end,” Syabeene said.

Going into the break, Syabeene has warned against complacency from his players.

Syabeene also adds that the technical bench will work on the defence going into the break.

“We don’t need to relax. It’s actually a good break for us because for all our lapses, we need to work on them,” he noted.

“Statistically, the past five or six games, we have scored a goal in each game. We’ve also conceded goals; that’s the difference between winning and losing. We need to work around so that we stop conceding.”

After the mid-season break, Indeni will face seventh-placed Green Buffaloes.
