Nchanga Rangers failed to make significant headway at the top of the Faz Super Division table when they drew away to Choma Eagles in Maamba this afternoon.
Rangers drew 0-0 in the Gwembe Valley to see their lead cut from five to three points after Zesco United replaced Green Buffaloes in second places following a 2-0 home win over bottom placed Lusaka Dynamos at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.
Bruce Mwape’s Rangers are on 43 points and need to keep their cool with seven matches left to play this season.
Rangers this Saturday play a crucial match when they travel to Kitwe to face fourth place Power Dynamos. While Zesco take on Red Arrows in Lusaka on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Zesco moved from third to second thanks to goals from Humphrey Luputa and Zambia international defender Nyambe Mulenga.
Buffaloes replaced Zesco in third positioned after a scoreless draw away to Kabwe Warriors.
At Arthur Davies stadium in Kitwe, Power beat Arrows 2-0 and the home sides three ponts came via a Luka Lungu brace while in Chililabombwe Konkola Blades defeated National Assembly 1-0 through a goal scored by Patrick Kasunga.
Roan United moved from fourth from bottom to 12th from 13th place after a 1-0 away win over fellow strugglers City of Lusaka thanks to a superb 83rd minute free-kick converted by Passmore Kangwa.
City are second from bottom after their defeat.
Nkana did not travel to Lusaka to play Zanaco because the latter are preparing for their Caf Confederation Cup Group B match this Saturday at Nkoloma stadium.
