Red Arrows forward Ricky Banda has moved closer to clinching the FAZ Super Division golden boot with three games left in the season.
Banda scored his 14th league goal at the weekend to join Friday Samu at the top of the scorers chart.
He registered his goal in the 15th minute when Arrows edged Kafue Celtic 1-0 at Edwin Imboela Stadium in Lusaka.
Samu had been leading the scorers chart in absentia from January when he left the Super Division to join South African side Maritzburg United.
Banda’s goals have been crucial to Arrows campaign for the Super Division title.
Meanwhile, last year’s league top scorer Moses Phiri is just one goal away from Banda and Samu.
Youngster Albert Kangwanda of Kafue Celtic is on 11 goals.
