Zesco United have replaced Nchanga Rangers at the top of the Super Division table today after beating Kabwe Warriors away in Kabwe in a rescheduled Week 20 game.
Both Zesco and Rangers are on 43 points but the Ndola side lead on goal difference.
Fighton Simukonda’s side beat Warriors who are struggling in the relegation zone via a second half goal scored by ex-Ndola United striker Humphrey Luputa in the 59th minute.
Luputa headed in the winner from a Maybin Mwaba corner to hand Zesco the three points and score his second successive goal for his new club.
Warriors are stuck in 13th place with just five league wins all season as new Coach Manfred Chabinga struggles to find consistency at the club since joining them in mid July with just one win to his credit from six games which include three defeats.
