Forest Rangers blow chance to win maiden Zambian title


Forest Rangers missed the chance of winning a first ever title on Sunday as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Zanaco in the final match of the season. Sunday's game means that all the teams had played 27 times with Nkana Red Devils winning on goal difference ahead of Forest Rangers, with both teams locked on 50 points. Rangers had been due to play Zanaco in their first match back from the suspension on but it was cancelled as 28 Forest Rangers' players and staff tested positive for the virus. Initially Zanaco were awarded a three-point walkover for that match but Rangers won an appeal against that decision meaning the game had to be played after all. The decision also meant that Nkana, who thought they had won the title when the league was halted, had to sit and wait to see if they would be denied by Forest Rangers.
