Kitwe United on Sunday moved closer to winning promotion after thumping FQM Roads 2-0 in a FAZ Division One Zone Two match played at Garden Park Stadium in Kitwe.
Strikers Emmanuel Chabula and Rodgers Mukenge scored first half goals as leaders Kitwe moved to 59 points with just one match remaining in the season.
Second placed Kansanshi Dynamos drew 1-1 against Copperbelt Buffaloes to give Chingalika a two point lead at the top of the table.
Kansanshi have 57 points, four above third placed Indeni after 29 matches played.
“This is our time to bounce back to the Super Division,” Kitwe captain Moses Lolozi declared.
The Buchi Boys are wrapping up the campaign with an away match against Zesco Luapula in Mansa.
Kitwe last tested Super Division football in 2006.

Can you please update this story now that Kansanshi Dynamos has been awarded three points and three goals by FAZ. This is as a result of their petition against the game they played with Indeni some time back. The appeal was about Indeni fielding an ineligible player in the same match, and the petition has since been upheld and the result overturned in favour of Kansanshi Dynamos.
Indeni won the game 2-0 at their home against Kansanshi Dynamos.
Kansanshi now needs to win its home game against Ndola United and the Mine boys will be in for the big party.
