Power’s Titus Chansa on top scorer award

At the beginning of the season, no one had fancied Titus Chansa to win the Golden Boot but the striker defied odds.
Chansa netted 13 goals to finish as MTN Super League joint scorer with Nkana’s Idris Mbombo.
Chansa was winning the accolade for the first time while for Mbombo, it was the second having bagged it in 2018.
Chansa started the season with Mutondo Stars before joining champions Power Dynamos during the January transfer window on a one year loan.
He had already netted nine times for Mutondo in the first round when he was trekking to title-chasers Power.
The four goals in Power colours in the second round were enough for him to etch his name in history books and help the Kitwe side win the title.
The Zambia international is over the moon after a stellar season.
“It feels good and it has motivated me to work extra hard in the coming seasons,” Chansa said.
Asked if the move to Power prevented him from scoring more than the four he managed, Chansa attributed the low scoring rate to injury.
“It only affected me the time I had an injury which led to not playing nine games plus.”
Chansa said he faced healthy competition from other strikers in the race for the golden boot.
“The competition was there in every game we had knowing that I was in the race for the Golden boot with players who have been in competition already…but it kept me motivated to challenge them despite having not won it before,” he said.
With his loan deal expiring in December, Chansa has big ambitions.
“My goals for next season is to maintain the same hard work especially scoring more goals, helping the team achieve in winning the Super League also to be part of the Zambia National Soccer Team.
