In the second half, Mazembe continued where they left off, and Oscar Kabwit doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 48th minute.
Just after the hour mark, Nkhoma showcased his exceptional vision and skill, finding Mwaungulu with a beautifully weighted pass that allowed the forward to score his third goal for Mazembe.
The Flames duo of Nkhoma and Mwaungulu was substituted off the pitch in the 63rd minute, and Mazembe didn’t manage to add any more goals to their tally after their departure. However, the 3-0 scoreline was enough to showcase Mazembe’s dominance over Sanga Balende.
With this win, Mazembe now sits with 22 points in 11 games, having claimed 7 wins, 1 draw, and suffered 3 defeats in the Ligue 1 Championship.
