The battle of Zambians in the Superettan was missing the Zambian component on Monday when Ljungskile SK hosted Trollhattn. Boyd Mwila came into the match in the 51st minute, with Trollhattn down 2-0, adding the offensive spark they needed to claim back two goals in the final 40 minutes, however Ljungskile were also able to score a pair in that time frame. The final score was 4-2 for Ljungskile.
Edwin Phiri did not make an appearance in the match, remaining on the substitutes bench.
Ljungskile are in 9th place in the table, but only 3 points from 4th, and 6 points from 3rd, which is a promotion playoff spot.

Justin Zulu is also doing very well at his club, the defensive midfielder who is a team mate to Rogers Kola, found the net in their 4-1 won last week with Kola having a goal disallowed.

Thanks for the updates Zamfoot.
I hope to see Fwayo in action again today. It was exciting to a son of Zambia playing CL.
I hope Jacob will recover in good time for the Chipolopolo game.
Ba Muzo, any update on William Ndlhovu in Israel?
