Share

Zesco United maintained a four-point lead at the top of the Super Division table after beat Forest Rangers 4-1 in their Ndola derby at the Trade Fair Grounds on Saturday.

Fighton Simukonda’s side is on 54 points with three games to go before the end of the season.

However, it was Forest who got the game rolling when Frazer Mwelwa put the visitors ahead in the 41st minute.

Clifford Chipalo replied with the equalizer for Zesco two minutes later to see the two teams go 1-1 into halftime.

John Chingandu scored the first of his two goals on 53 minutes before Zesco struck again two minutes later through striker Humphrey Luputa.

Chingandu completed his brace in the 69th minute to see Zesco complete back-to-back league wins over Forest and end the latter’s nine-match unbeaten run under coach Hector Chilombo.

Meanwhile, Nchanga Rangers returned to second placed after a 3-0 win over relegation-bound National Assembly at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.

Defender Moses Mulambi opened scores from the penalty in the 38th minute and Lyson Siakonga added two more goals in the 59 and 89th minutes.
