Zanaco stayed top of the Faz Premier Division table for a third straight week after an emphatic 4-0 away win over Forest Rangers at Dola Hill in Ndola this afternoon.
Wedson Nyirenda’s side move up from 10 to 13 points, one less than Green Buffaloes who replaced Forest in second place after they beat Nakambala at home this afternoon.
Allen Mukuka put Zanaco ahead in the 8th minute before this seasons top scorer Patrick Kabamba scored his 6th league goal of the season in the 20th minute.
Midfielder Jack Chileshe joined Kabamba on six goals when added two more to after the break to see Zanaco stay unbeaten in their last five successive league games.
At Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka, Buffaloes defeated Nakambala Leopards 2-1.
Just half-way across town in Lusaka at Queensmead Stadium, City of Lusaka’s early good form continued when they beat hosts Lusaka Dynamos 1-0 thanks to a Kennedy Chola goal in the 33rd minute.
However, Dynamos could have equalized in the 66th minute had Katongo Chalwe’s penalty kick not been saved.
City are 4th and three points behind leaders Zanaco following their away derby win.
Elsewhere, Roan United beat Red Arrows 1-0 at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya, while Konkola Blades and Chambishi played out to a 1-1 draw at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
Power Dynamos continued to slip off the pace after a bright start earlier in the season when Zamtel now coached by a former Arthur Davies icon in the form of Linos Makwaza beat them 2-0 at Musa Kasonka Stadium in Ndola today.
Chris Mwamba and Isaac Nyirenda were on target for Zamtel in the 15th and 21st minutes respectively.
The victory handed Makwaza his first league win in charge after two draws and a defeat since taking charge of Zamtel four games ago.
And at Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka, Kabwe Warriors beat hosts Young Arrows 2-1.
Meanwhile, Zesco United and Choma Eagles match was postponed due to the formers late arrival on Thursday from their Caf African Champions League engagement away to Malian club Djoliba.

How can Zanaco be top when they have “one (point) less than Green Buffaloes who replaced Forest in second place after they beat Nakambala at home this afternoon.”? Which crap reporter who doesn’t bother to check his report before posting wrote this?
# 3 Malaika : You are right on. Some of these LT reporters really suck. However, way to go Warriors and GBFC. What’s up with Arrows and Power??
The headline is misleading ZANACO CUT FOREST TO STAY TOP AT DOLA HILL or as it should be, ZANACO CUT FOREST AT DOLA HILL TO STAY TOP
