ROAN UNITED 5–1 FOREST RANGERS: THEY CAME, THEY SAW, THEY GOT DESTROYED
Luanshya, 2 May 2026 | ZPL National League 2025-26 Season.
Someone should have warned Forest Rangers before they boarded that bus to Luanshya.
Because what happened at Roan Stadium this Saturday afternoon was not a football match. It was an ex*****on. Organised, ruthless, and completely without mercy.
But before a single word is written about the goals, the heroes, or the humiliation — let this be stated loud and clear:
ROAN UNITED FC ARE CONFIRMED AS PROMOTED TO THE MTN SUPER LEAGUE FOR 2026-2027.
Say it again. Read it again. Let it sink in.
The Antelope are going up.
Wilfred Chitembo scored in the 2nd minute. The 2nd minute. The goalkeeper had barely touched the ball. Some fans were still looking for their seats. It did not matter. Roan United had already decided how this afternoon would end.
Clifford Hamunkoyo arrived at the party in 12 minutes and made it two. Forest Rangers had touched the ball a handful of times and were already staring at a mountain.
Now, to their credit — and this is the only credit they are getting — Forest Rangers did not lie down immediately. Saviour K***a found a moment of defiance in 35 minutes, pulling one back to make it 2–1. The visitors dared to dream. The away end found its voice. For approximately ten minutes, this looked like it could become a football match after all.
It did not become a football match.
The second half was a different kind of cruelty. Hamunkoyo walked back out of that tunnel and immediately reminded Forest Rangers exactly where they were. 48 minutes — 3–1. Clinical. Cold. The dream was dead.
Chitembo, not content with his early strike, decided he wanted more. 76 minutes — 4–1. The scoreline was now embarrassing. The Forest Rangers' bench had the look of men counting down the minutes to escape.
But Hamunkoyo was not finished. He had a hat-trick to collect, and he was not leaving Luanshya without it.

But Hamunkoyo was not finished. He had a hat-trick to collect, and he was not leaving Luanshya without it. 84 minutes. Hat-trick. Five goals. One very long, very silent bus ride, waiting for the visitors.
5–1. Full-time. Done.
The Scoreline:
⚽ Chitembo 2' | Hamunkoyo 12' | (K***a 35' — FR) | Hamunkoyo 48' | Chitembo 76' | Hamunkoyo 84'
Man of the Match: Clifford Hamunkoyo. Hat-trick hero. The man did not come to play — he came to punish. Three goals spread across 72 minutes of football, each one more emphatic than the last. Take a bow.
The Bigger Picture: This was not just three points. This was not just five goals. This was the sound of a football club reclaiming its rightful place. Roan United FC are promoted to the MTN Super League — and they announced it with a performance that will be talked about in Luanshya for a very long time. The rest of the league has been warned. The Antelope are back at the top table, and they are arriving with an appetite.
Luanshya, this one is yours. Celebrate it.
