Nkana ended a three-match losing streak with a 2-0 home win against Konkola Blades at Nkana Stadium in Wusakile, Kitwe.
Forwards Charles Zulu and Lazarous Kambole were the scorers in this round 23 match of the Super League.
Zulu put Kalampa in the lead with a close range header after 35 minutes with Kambole scoring another header on 55 minutes.
This was Nkana interim coach Elijah Tana’s first match in charge after the sending of Mwenya Chipepo and his assistant Christopher Katongo on forced leave this week.
”We are happy that we won today after losing three games. Winning today has given us moral and more confidence,” said Nkana assistant coach Josephat Nkhoma.
Nkhoma saluted the backline for not conceding against Konkola.
”I think today’s clean sheet gives the defenders confidence and moral. We should not be allowing goals in every game we play,” he said.
Nkana’s seventh win of the season saw them rise to 28 points after playing 23 matches.
Ninth placed Konkola remained on 30 points after playing 22 matches.
Elsewhere on Saturday, second placed Red Arrows missed a chance to return to the top of the Super League after succumbing to a 2-1 loss at FC MUZA in Mazabuka.
Arrows remained on 43 points, two behind leaders Power Dynamos, who travels to Zesco United on Sunday.
