Power Dynamos took on Napsa Stars for the first game of the 2016 season
On a high and most pronounced note the 2016 Zambia super league kicked off today with wins from super league giants Nkana and Power Dynamos settling the rivals at par with the super league standing for week one. Earlier, in a derby at Arthur Davies Mufulira Blackpool opened the league in an early kick off fixture against lusaka dynamos. the debutantes were greeted with a one null defeat in a match most people saw Blackpool would pull a surprise. but lack of experience costed them the match conceding a goal in the dying minutes of game through a Thomas Mbolela goal in 71st minute.

The visitors took an early lead through Mathews Macha in the 14th minute, but Power Dynamos responded through the in-form Larry Bwalya who scored in the 21st minute from a superb cross by Kelvin Mubanga Kampamba and later the much talked about Patson Daka took the home team into the lead in the 41st minute of the first half.
