Home defender Derrick Ndahiro made things better for Dynamos with less than 15 minutes to play, when he directed a harmless cross into his own net, completing the sensational comeback for the away side.

Despite picking a knock and being stretchered off the field, Shumah toughed it out for the rest of the contest, and will be returning to Kitwe with a spring in his step as Dynamos have one foot in the top-tier of continental football.

The second-leg tie between the two sides is scheduled for Friday, 24 October at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
