Struggling Green Buffaloes held second placed Zesco United to a 2-2 draw in a mid-week FAZ Super League match played at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
This Week 19 tie was brought forward after Zesco were invited by Tanzanian club Simba for a ceremonial game to be played on Saturday.
Midfielder Sebastian Mwansa put Buffaloes ahead in the 25th minute when he beat keeper Brown Nyirenda with a fine free kick on the edge of the box.
Mwansa’s goal was cancelled by Nathan Bwalya’s 31st minute strike as the two teams went into the break with a 1-1 score-line.
Referee Jani Sikazwe stole the lime-light in the second half when he awarded a controversial half penalty to either side.
The first one came in the 50th minute as Jackson Mwanza beat Fred Silwamba after Gift Wamundila allegedly fouled Lazarous Kambole.
Buffaloes benefited from Sikazwe’s poor officiating when he penalised Nyambe Mulenga for ball-to-hand before Kennedy Chola stepped forward to equalise from the spot on 72 minutes.
