Kalulushi Modern Stars have displaced stuttering Mufulira Wanderers from the top of the FAZ Division One North table after beating Forest Rangers 1-0 in Ndola on Sunday.
Green Witika scored the lone goal as Kalulushi silenced Forest at Dola Hill to move to 33 points after 19 matches played.
Forest now drop into fourth place on the table and remain stuck on 31 points.

Blackpool scored a 34th minute goal through Happy Ng’ambi to condemn Wanderers to their second straight defeat after last week’s similar loss at Kitwe United.
Mighty are now in joint second with improving Chambishi who beat Mining Rangers 1-0 away at Garden Park Stadium in Kitwe on Sunday.
