Zanaco will go into the week-long period of national mourning leading the Faz Super Division table.
This is after Power Dynamos failed to return to the top of the table after being held to a goalless home draw in their dramatic Copperbelt derby on Sunday against defending league champions Zesco United at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
Power are second and level on points with Zanaco on 22 points but the latter beat the former to top spot thanks to a superior goal difference.
Zesco had a man sent off after striker Jackson Mwanza was red carded for poking in Power defender Kamuzati Kabwe in the eye in the first half.
In the second half, the spotlight fell on Power midfielder Kennedy Mudenda who missed a penalty denying the home-side the three points against their 10-men visitors from down the Dual Carriageway in Ndola.
And at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe, Nkana were thumped 2-0 away by their hosts Konkola Blades where Ephraim Banda and Maybin Chishimba were on target.
