Itโs official, โIndeni is having the kind of week that makes you want to pull the covers over your head and pretend football doesnโt exist. Fresh off their first loss, they rolled into Lusaka, probably hoping for a miracle.

The whistle had barely left the refereeโs lips when Merlin Kapela decided to give Indeni a warm welcome with the fastest goal of the season. At the two-minute mark, Buffaloes were already up 1-0. Indeniโs defense? Well, letโs just say they were still trying to figure out if the game had actually started or if it was some kind of elaborate prank. Spoiler alert: it wasnโt.

Kapela sealed the deal with his second goal in the 38th minute, leaving Indeni's defense in shambles.

In Lusaka, Atletico Lusaka's Bad Boys thought they were cruising to their first win of the season when Benjamin put them ahead in the 3rd minute against NAPSA Stars. But football has a funny w
