Zesco United heaped more pressure on National Assembly’s woeful form this season when they beat their guests on Sunday in a Faz Super Division Week 11 game in Lusaka.
The Faz super Division leaders defeated winless Assembly 1-0 at Woodlands Stadium to move four points clear at the top of the table on 27 points from 11 matches played.
Zesco however were made to work very hard for the victory to maintain their unbeaten league run against Assembly stretching back to 2005.
But Assembly came close to giving Zesco an early scare to try and end that run when Laughter Chilembe saw his free kick parried out for safety by Zesco goalkeeper Jacob Banda in the 17th minute in what was the first halfs’ major highlight.
Zesco in the second half were better in attack while Assembly showed little bite if any upfront.
The visitors secured their hard fought for points on 75 minute when midfielder Khondwani Mtonga headed in the game’s lone goal from an Innocent Mwaba free kick.
Assembly remain rooted at the bottom of the Super Division table with four points from 11 games and still in search of that elusive first league win of the campaign.
