Nkana moved up to fourth place on the FAZ Super Division table after thumping Nkwazi 2-0 at home in Kitwe on Wednesday.
This was Nkana’s second win in four days – having defeated Power Dynamos 1-0 in the derby at the weekend.
Striker Ronald Kampamba and defender Dieugo Apanane scored a goal in each half as Nkana moved to 55 points after playing 32 matches.
Kampamba put Nkana in front after 27 minutes after finishing off a Harrison Chisala pass in the box.
The goal ensured Nkana took a 1-0 lead into the break before Nkwazi came back stronger in the last half.
Nkwazi defender Nicholas Chambeshi was denied a chance to equalise by keeper Moses Mapulanga after 65 minutes.
Apanane registered Nkana’s second goal via a fantastic free kick from the edge of the box after wasteful Walter Bwalya was hacked.
Nkwazi remain on 42 points after playing 32 matches.
In Lusaka, leaders Zanaco opened a three point gap at the top following a 2-0 win over visiting Real Nakonde.
Heritier Nkonko and Felix Nyaende scored at Sunset Stadium.
Zanaco have 60 points, three above second placed Green Buffaloes, after 32 matches played.
