Power Dynamos have gone to the top of the FAZ Super Division table on a technicality after former leaders Zanaco’s home game against Kabwe Warriors was abandoned at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.
It is the second successive time that a game involving Warriors has been abandoned following their Week 22 home match against Nkana on August 30 was halted after Josphat Kasusu’s late equaliser was disallowed when the visitors were leading 1-0.
At Sunset Stadium, Warriors’ game against hosts Zanaco was abandoned deep into stoppage time.
This is after referee Chiwoyu Sinyangwe cancelled Lameck Kafwaya’s equaliser in three minutes deep into stoppage time with Zanaco leading 1-0 through Mathews Macha.
Kafwaya is alleged to have scored a direct free kick when in fact Chiwoyu ordered an indirect kick to be taken.
A pitch invasion ensued allegedly led by Warriors supporters in a match assistant referee Zoara Mizinga was injured.
Meanwhile, Power sneaked into the top of the table on the other side of town at Nkoloma Stadium after a 2-1 away win over Arrows.
Alex Ngonga put Power ahead in the 40th minute while Kobe Chipeta made it 2-0 in the 83rd minute.
Patrick Ngoma scored Arrows’ consolation goal in injury time.
Power are two points ahead on 46 points while second placed Zanaco await the FAZ discipline decision on their abandoned game against Warriors.
Zesco stay second after a 1-1 away draw with National Assembly at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.
Assembly had two players including their coach George Kapembwa sent off in a match Zesco took a 12th minute lead through Jackson Mwanza.
Kabamba Chibwe was sent off in the 33rd minute before his team mate Malela Supu equalised in the 40th minute.
Alick Tembo saw red in injury time and coach Kapembwa was also sent to the stands shortly thereafter for what was a fifth time this season.

LYOSE BATILA ATI BA NKANA BA FYONGO.
Ba Tumelo, we conducted a survey of which team is the most violent and Nkana came out tops.So dont worry, its true that ba Nkana ba fyongo. I support Nkana but tuli ba fyongo.we are stone throwers.I dont know if we were born from one father and one mother.I think we should change our behaviours.What do you think my fellow Nkana supporters.So dont blame Warriors.they are just following what Nkana does.If it happened to Nkana their supporters would have rioted.Viva Nkana.Nkana for life.
