ZESCO United back on top of MTN Super League

ZESCO United moved back to the top of the MTN Super League following a 1-0 away win at Mufulira Wanderers on Sunday as they took advantage of a slip-up by Kabwe Warriors.

George Ngoma scored the only goal of the game two minutes from the end as ZESCO moved two points clear of Warriors after 23 rounds of the Zambian league.

Warriors were held to a 1-1 draw at Forest Rangers, who snatched a late point thanks to an injury-time equaliser from Chris Mugalu.

Warriors had taken the lead through Simon Tonga and will view this as two points dropped rather than one gained.

Red Arrows drop to fourth after they were held to a surprise 0-0 draw at home by Mutondo Stars, while Nkana are in fifth following their thumping 5-1 success against Atletico Lusaka.

Francis Zulu scored a brave for Nkana, while Idris Mbombo and Sammy Ahoka were also on target to go with an unfortunate own goal from Atletico's Gilbert Mulenga. Godwin Chipanama had earlier equalised for the visitors after 10 minutes.

FC MUZA climbed into the top half of the table following a 2-0 win at relegation-threatened Zanaco.

Emmanuel Habasimbi and Biston Banda netted inside the opening 14 minutes of the match as MUZA claimed a comfortable win, while Zanaco are two points from safety.

Innocent Kashita scored two minutes from the end to give Nkwazi a 1-0 victory at Green Eagles, while Nchanga Rangers and NAPSA Stars finished in a goalless draw.
