Result: ZESCO United 1-1 Royal AM (1-1 on aggregate)
Date: 15 October 2022
Venue: Levy Mwanawasa Stadium
The two sides had it all to play for in the second leg after playing to a goalless draw at the Moses Mabhida Stadium last weekend.
Zesco looked to get themselves in front early on, with Collins Sikombe and Kelvin Kampamba seeing their efforts saved by Royal AM goalkeeper Xolani Ncgobo in the opening 15 minutes.
The home side took the lead in the 31st minute after the early dominance, with Sikombe getting the first goal of the tie with a neat strike.
Royal AM nearly got themselves back on level terms just before the halftime break as Mxolisi Macuphu sent an effort wide of Ian Otieno's goal.
The visitors did get the equaliser 11 minutes into the second half through Ruzaigh Gamildien, who scored via a free-kick for his second goal of the competition.
Abram Nteo's charges were able to see out the rest of the second half and deny United a way back into the contest.
