Zesco draw with Napsa stars to maintain lead at the top

Share

Zesco United continue to enjoy their slender lead at the top of the FAZ Super Division table after a home draw against Napsa Stars.

The league leaders came from behind to finish 1-1 against promoted Napsa at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.

Napsa took the lead in the 37th minute through veteran striker Linos Chalwe who headed in a Jacob Mupeta corner.

Zesco leveled scores in the 44th minute through Jackson Mwanza with a close-range effort.

Napsa survived a late scare in the 88th minute when Mwanza failed to punish goalkeeper Kalililo Kakonje for spilling the ball while Alfred Luputa blasted the rebound wide.

Meanwhile, Power Dynamos remained second despite losing 2-1 away to Nakambala Leopards away in Mazabuka.

Nakambala moved from 12th to 10th after their third win of the season.

And Power could be relegated to third on Sunday should Red Arrows win away to Nkana away in Kitwe.
