The new striker eventually managed to find the back of the net after his earlier chances were thwarted by Joshua Titima in the league tie
John Makwatta's maiden goal for his new club helped Zesco United register a 2-0 win against Mufulira Wanderers in a Faz Super Divison tie on Sunday.
Makwatta and Winston Kalengo scored in the second half to ensure the league champions picked up a win after four matches without one in all competitions.
Makwatta could have earned his first goal as early as the third minute but he failed to find the back of the net with Zesco United's first attempt after he had been supplied with a good cross from Mwila Phiri.
