Zesco United return from the three-week mid-season break to open up a 6-point lead at the summit of the Faz Premier League table after beating Roan United 2-0 away in a Week 20 match played at Kafubu stadium this afternoon.
The Ndola sides’ two goals came either side of the 45 minutes through Yonah Mwango and Allen Chibwe to see Zesco open up a six point on 43 points from twenty games played so far this season.
Zesco’s win ended Roan’s nine-match unbeaten run in the top-flight that stretched back to May 1.
Buffaloes stay second on 37 points after squandering a 1-0 first half lead to finish 1-1 away at 4th placed Lusaka Dynamos in a modest game played at Queensmead stadium in Lusaka.
Reuben Phiri put Buffaloes ahead in the 27th minute before second half substitute Isaac Mutantabowa equalized in the 71st minute to see the two sides share the points.
Kabwe Warriors stayed 3rd after beating Zamtel 1-0 at Musa Kasonka in Ndola with Henry Banda there supplying the all important goal in the 42nd minute.
Zanaco failed to make any ground up the log when they were held to a scoreless draw away at Nchanga Rangers in Chingola while Young Arrows won 1-0 away at bottom placed Nakambala Leopards.
Konkola Blades stuttering run this season continued when they lost 1-0 away to National Assembly after Simon Sakala’s goal made the difference between the two sides at Woodlands stadium in Lusaka.
Meanwhile, they were scoreless draws in the other remaining matches involving Power Dynamos-City of Lusaka and Red Arrows-Forest Rangers.

at Garden Park
Kitwe 0 Nkana 1
FORMER Zambian soccer kings Nkana yesterday moved back into pole position for KCM-FAZ Premier Division promotion after this hard-fought win from a Kitwe derby watched by a crowd never seen at Garden Park in Kitwe.
And thanks to Division One North leaders Chambishi losing away, Nkana moved into joint leadership with Chambishi on 48 points but with a game in hand from an unplayed game against Konkola Mine Police which is awaiting a decision from FAZ.
And the match winner which threw the ball back the chance of promotion into their court came from an unlikely scorer in Andrew Silwimba on 41 minutes after a neat counter-attack that exposed Kitwe.
A charging Silwimba perfectly met a low Morgan Kapembwa cross from the left after being put through by William Chinse to slam home the goal that brought jubilation to Nkana supporters especially after learning of Chambishi’s loss.
Nkana are finished, even though they come back in the Premier League, they won’t manage cause the mines are gone.
Maybe Born Rich you can help them hahahahahaha…………

They just have to play good football and be able to pull a good crowd which is able to pay the gate fees. That would be a good start for them.
Long Live Nkana
Long Live Kalampa
Long Live Malitoli!!!!! (though his contract was not renewed).
Malitoli for President!!!!
Chris Katongo’s club Brøndby IF were taught a lesson last evening when the were outplayed and lost 5-0 to last seasons runnersup FC MidtJylland, in the town of Herning. The game televised live was played with out Katongo. So far Katong has only seen action for 3 minutes from the first game Vs Esbjerg which Brøndby lost. BIF have played 3 games, drwan 1 at home and lost 2 away and have set a new danish record of away 21 games without a win. I do not know why Katongo is not playing, I think the guy coaching Brøndby seems not to know what he is doing. It is like players do not respect his knowledge about football.
I have heard Mbesuma is moving to Turkey, nice for him pantu kulwa takwaba uku kolwa ich saka bala ponona ama suppoteres nga ta ule ingisha elyo ama gelo yabo ba salako
Nkana forever.. We are with you guys. We want to see you there where you belong in the top league and back pachilata.
Viva Kalampa. Ba Anonymous niba sadist
#9 Justice, I hope Katongo does not disappear into oblivion. We need him to be playing regularly for the good of the Chipolopolo.

We will not stop supporting Nkana even if they go down into the amatuer league. So your hate-statements will not deter us. You are just wasting your time.

You have hammered the nail on the head!!#6, Anonymous must go to hell with his hate speach.
Long Live Nkana!!
Long Live Kalampa!!
Kemps I think Katongo has a problem. He went to play in some match at the time he was supposed to be training with Brøndby. I see it as a punishment cause he did not play even yesterday Vs Chelsea. Was on the bench thru. out this game. Umwaiche bala mupwisha aba bantu just like they did to Douglas Mwamba, so Katongo must ask the coach why he is not playing or let FAZ interven
Justice I thought I saw him play against Chelsea on Tuesday. What is happening? Tell us.
Kemps: He did not play. I did not watch the game but I have seen the match report on Brøndby’s website. I have sent an e-mail to the club to findout why he is not playing, but I have not got a reply yet.
Justice: Thanks for your information
Kemps, I sent an e-mail to FAZ and got a reply. I have not heard from Brondby yet. See below

I write to inform you that Chris is not playing for his club at the moment. This is worrying me because we about to play SA in september. I think that the Zambian Coach should phone the coach at Brøndby IF and ask him why Katongo is not playing, many coaches do that when their top players are being left out of the team.
He did well last season, så I do not understand why he is not being featured. It is to the disadvantage
