Share

ZAMTEL 0- ZESCO UNITED 3.

Zesco United maintained their 3 point lead at the top of the Faz Premier League table with a 3-0 away win over Zamtel FC at Musa Kasonka stadium in this top-versus-bottom Ndola derby.

In-form Zambia international midfielder Rainford Kalaba scored the opener in the 18th minute to see him go top of the top scorers charts with 9 competitive goals this season and also give Zesco 1-0 lead into the break.

Striker Enoch Sakala made it 2-0 on 57 minutes to record his 6th of the season before ex-City of Lusaka front-man Kelvin Muzungu wrapped-up the 3 points for Zesco with an 82nd minute goal.

Zesco are on 26 points from 12 league games played so far and have now gone eight successive league games without a defeat.

ZANACO 2- KONOLA BLADES 0.

Some semblance of old returned Zanaco’s way today when they beat visiting Konkola Blades 2-0 at Sunset stadium in Lusaka to move from 4th to 2nd place.

Mumamba Numba scored a brace with goals in the 45th and 55th minutes of this match to hand the defending league champions’ victory.

LUSAKA DYNAMOS 0- KABWE WARRIORS 0.

Lusaka Dynamos slipped from 2nd to 3rd after a scoreless home draw with Kabwe Warriors to see the latter recover from that 1-0 May Day home league defeat at home.

CITY OF LUSAKA 1-GREEN BUFFALOES 1.

Happy Sichikolo’s City of Lusaka continue to rub shoulders with the other sides in the top 5 after escaping with a 1-1 home draw against Green Buffaloes at Woodlands stadium in Lusaka.

Fluid striker Nephias Banda equalized for City in the 47th minute after Jimmy Mumba had put Buffaloes ahead to see the visitors record their second straight draw after that scoreless result at home against Zanaco last Wednesday.

NCHANGA RANGERS 3- NAKAMBALA LEOPARDS 3.

Nchanga Rangers squandered a 3-0 lead to finished 3-3 against the “Sweet Boys” Nakambala Leopards.

Rangers were cruising with striker Lyson Sikaonga setting the tone with a brace in the 36th and 47th minutes before his team mate and midfielder Emmanuel Chimpinde added his sides third goal seven minutes after the hour-mark.

Five minutes later, The Mazabuka-based club roared to life with two quick goals from ex-Afrisports FC striker Dan Masumba with a brace of his own in the 72nd and 74th minutes.

Henry Siakachela restored parity to see the two sides share the spoils five minutes later.

POWER DYNAMOS 0- NATIONAL ASSEMBLY 0.

Power Dynamos continued with their poor form of the season with a second consecutive scoreless league draw this time against National Assembly FC at home in Kitwe.

Fiery striker Elson Mukandawire ripped and roared the 73 minutes he was on the pitch but every minute he approached the 6-yard box, his engine bust into flames with some awful finishing.

His replacement Luka Lungu almost silenced Power’s now growing army of critics with an 86th minute disallowed goal that the controversial referee Bernard Chabala erased for a non-existent off-side.

Lungu had pounced to finish off his initial shot on the rebound shot after Assembly goalkeeper Elopy Katayanya split the ball.

Ex-Power and Zambia international midfielder Alex Namazaba who is in temporal charge at Assembly after his boss Alfred Lupiya was sidelined in midweek, was the happier man to leave with at least a draw against his old club on his first day on the job.

RED ARROWS 1- ROAN UNITED 1.

Red Arrows this afternoon recovered from their 2-0 Labour Day defeat at leaders Zesco United to draw 1-1 at home against an improving Roan United.

Arrows took the lead in the 43rd minute through Dan Sibanda before Roan sneaked in a late equalizer through Perry Sinkala just two minutes from full-time.

FOREST RANGERS 1- YOUNG ARROWS 1.

Forest draw habit continues when they finished 1-1 at home with Young Arrows.

Defender Nyambe Mulenga put the hosts ahead to score his second goal of the season in the 28th minute to give them a 1-0 lead into the break.

Kruger Mwansa made sure they shared the points with their fellow strugglers with an equalizer in the 56th minute.
