Defending FAZ Super League champions Zesco United issued a statement on Saturday that last Saturdays Copperbelt victory over Nkana was no fluke following a 3-0 win over Green Buffaloes at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.
The result was Zesco’s second biggest victory this season without replay since they smashed Kansanshi Dynamos 4-0 at home in Ndola.

Chingandu struck in the 22nd and 59th minutes while youngster midfielder Chanda Mukuka cemented the 3 points in the 74th minute.
Zesco stay third and a point behind Eagles on 44 and 45 points respectively.
Eagles are six out six without a defeat after a 1-0 home win over Chambishi at home in Choma.
Emmanuel Mwaba scored the games’ only goal in stoppage time.
