Goals from Christopher Muhango and debutant Lambert Ariana was all it took for the visitors to win their first three points of the season.
Sensational Zanaco entered the game on the hill of a busy summer during which they had made several adjustments to their squad and it was evident from the start.
It took just 16 minutes to establish the deserved advantage for Wedson Nyirenda men.
Araina sealed the result with the second of the game deep into the second segment, making a dream start of the season for the Red and black boys.
Araina’s first impression less than a week after joining Zambian sleeping giants on a path of resurgence.
For starters, Araina,25, received his first call-up with the Cameroon men’s senior national team on September 21, 2021, during the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup against Mozambique. Though he didn’t feature, he was appreciated by the then coach Antonio Conceicao. From local pitches to CAF champions League and Confederations cup glory, he etched his name in Cameroon’s football history when he forced Cotonport’s legendary top scorer and Niger forward, Daouda Kamilou to retirement.
A towering figure, Araina captivated fans whilst at Cotonsport with his dedication and clinical finishing as he has started showing at Zanaco.
Zanaco Football Club that finished 8th last season on 43 points, a massive 28 points behind eventual winners Red Arrows will be hoping he keeps his scoring boots and stir them upwards.
With a natural desire to compete for positions in interclub positions and possibly titles, the presence of Araina is huge, as sensational Zanaco looks to win an 8th Zambian league title.
While Araina’s on-field persona exudes strength and power, he possesses a gentle side that often goes unnoticed, hence the reason why he was transfered from Cotonsport to FAR, under the recommendations of 2017 AFCON winning coach, Sven Vandenbroeck and the move to Zambia already bearing fruits for coach Wydson.
