Power Dynamos edged Zesco United 3-2 away in Ndola on Sunday to open a five point lead at the top of the Super League.
Kenyan striker Moses Shumar grabbed a hat-trick at the water logged Levy Mwanawasa Stadium to propel Power to victory.
Shumar put Power in the lead with an 18th minute goal before Zesco striker Amine Hiver scored two quick goals on 33 and 39 minutes as the home side went to the break 2-1 up.
Minutes before half time, Chingola referee Hilary Hambaba nearly halted the match as the pitch almost became unplayable due to rains.
There were dramatic scenes in the last half with the major highlights being Shumar’s two goals registered in the 65th and 80th minute to silence the Zesco supporters.
Power’s 14th victory of the season was enough to see them extend their tally to 48 points, five better than second placed Red Arrows, after playing 22 matches.
After their fifth consecutive loss, 12 placed Zesco remained on 25 points from 22 matches played.
In other matches played on Sunday, Mutondo Stars held Nkwazi to a 1-1 draw at the Edwin Imboela Stadium in Lusaka as Napsa Stars drew 1-1 with Green Buffaloes in the Lusaka derby.

Power and Zesco, the two well sponsored clubs in Zed. Both responsible for loadshedding.
Waterlogged pitch is what you get for blindly following European football seasons.
Some of us told you why our season ended in October November to begin in March. This was because of our rainy season but No! you want to imitate bazungu in everything.
That’s why Africans don’t develop.

Waterlogged pitches can be avoided by returning back to our normal season. This change of season has not helped Zambian soccer. We can’t adjust we keep losing all competitions. Check West African soccer. They are thriving
