Zesco United shot to the top of the Super League table for at least 24 hours after thumping Konkola Mine Police 4-1 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on Saturday.
Zesco now have 24 points, one above second placed Nkana who takes on Nkwazi on Sunday at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka in a delayed tie.
Winger Winston Kalengo grabbed a brace for Zesco with goals in the 50th and 62nd minutes.
Midfielder Mwelwa Mwape put Zesco in the lead after 25 minutes with a long ranger thunderbolt that hit the upright before the ball rolled into the net.
Maybin Mwaba added Zesco’s second on the nick of half time with a long range effort benefiting from a defensive error in the Mine Police backline.
Substitute Jack Mwanza reduced the deficit with a 57th minute goal scored against the run of play.
This was before Kalengo headed in Zesco’s fourth goal and his second on the day.
Zesco have registered 14 goals in their last four matches.
Mine Police remain stuck on 12 points after 11 matches.

We will get them! They are just pretenders to the thrown! It is Nkana’s time! Go Nkana, go!
This afternoon Kabwe Warriors beat Zanaco 1 nil in a game played at Godfrey Chitalu stadium in Kabwe. The lone goal was scored by Owen Mwendabayi via a header from a corner kick after the goalkeeper for Zanaco awkwardly mistimed the ball. The win has lifted Warriors into third position on the MTN FAZ league log. The Dick Ngwenya drilled side were compact in defense and Abuild Sakala the creative mid fielder was a marvel to watch for long spells of the game.
On the other side Zanaco proved a handful going forward with Ignatius Lwiipa as their main man. Later in the second half Isaac Chansa, the former Orlando Pirates midfieder was introduced but contributed precious little, may be, because of time. Slowly, Warriors seem to be finding their feet. Their midfield hitherto less creative…
But everyone knows when it comes to Zesco Power it’s on & off (pun absolutely intended).
So tomorrow the RED CLAMP will Kalampa serious load shedding.
