Ochieng and Ng'anga featured for Zanaco but could not help them get all the three points against MUZA, while Jesse Were was left out of Kansashi Dynamo's 2-1 win over Trident.
Former Gor Mahia pair of John Ochieng’ and Dennis Ng’ang’a featured as Zanaco were held to a 0-0 draw by MUZA to keep them 10th in the Zambian MTN Super League table on Saturday.
In another fixture, former Tusker and Harambee Stars striker Jessue Jackson Were was left out as Kansashi Dynamos kept their survival hopes alive with a first win in five league appearances the season, as they downed Trident 2-1.
Ochieng started at the heart of Zanaco’s midfield, having earned praise for his tough-tackling approach this season while Ng’ang’a, who has been a constant starrer on the left side of the defence, was rested for the match, but he did come on as a substitute in the 71st minute in a match that really did not have much to write about.

Engin Firat spent 2023 shaping Harambee Stars in his image: Is the side ready for a monumental 2024?
With 2024 set to be a pivotal year for Harambee Stars given the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the 2024 CHAN on home soil, is the team ready following a mixed 2023?
Were, who joined Dynamos from Zesco after making history as their top marksman of all time, was left out of the squad as Dynamos had to battle to a win under challenging conditions, with persistent rains and a waterlogged pitch throughout at Nchanga Stadium.
In the 29th minute, KDFC broke the deadlock through Titus Chivunga who scored a beautiful goal, giving KDFC a 1-0 lead.
The second half witnessed a close chance for Trident, with Walaza Tembo's free kick going slightly over the bar in the 54th minute.
The visitors equalized through a penalty taken by Tembo, who was fouled inside the box by Mathew Mutambo in the 62nd minute.
