Nomads beat Red Lions in friendly

The Nomads started the match on an impressive note as Sparrow Msowoya, Patrick Gunde, Rafiq Namwera, Peter Wadabwa, Jimmy Zakazaka and Luke Milanze were playing some quality possession football.

Jimmy Zakazaka then put the Nomads ahead  before Boniface Kaulesi equalised and the score was 1-1 when the two sides were going for the break.

Come second half, both Nomads and the soldiers came in with new ideas but none of the teams failed to find the back of the net in the opening minutes.

The Nomads however retook the lead through Zakazaka who scored his second goal of the afternoon to make it 2-1.

Minutes later, they were awarded a penalty and striker Peter Wadabwa made no mistake from the spot. The game ended 3-1 in favour of the Nomads.
