Mufulira referee Francis Lombe was forced to abandon Saturday’s Faz Super Division match between Roan United and Power Dynamos at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya after home supporters rioted few minutes to full time.
Lombe stopped the match when Power were 2-1 up.
Cletus Chota gave Roan a first half lead before Graven Chitalu haunted his former club with an equaliser in the 88th minute.
Two minutes later Power midfielder Simon Bwalya scored the second for the defending champions.
Bwalya’s goal angered the home supporters who became unruly and resorted to throwing stones on the pitch.
The Kafubu faithful are reported to have partially damaged the vehicle belonging to Power vice chairman George Lungu.
Power coach Beston Chambeshi has since claimed victory despite the match ending prematurely.
“We have won the game, we even signed in the results book,” Chambeshi said.
And leaders Zanaco were held to a 1-1 draw by Nakambala Leopards away in Mazabuka while Zesco United lost 2-1 to National Assembly at home.

Football is played on the pitch, spectators in the terraces should only enjoy the match. You win some and lose some, that’s the name of the game. We have always had very disciplined supporters, what has gone wrong?
I watched Nkana draw 1-1 with Nchanga Rangers this afternoon . Mathematilcally Nkana need only three points from their remaining four games to be certain of survival .( NB . 37 points is the maximum Roan and Nakambala can reach ) . Realistically , I don’t see Roan and Nakambala winning all their remaining games ,so I think Nkana have already survived as it stands !
KALAAAMPAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roan United should just accept defeat.
how come the Mighty Mufulira Wonderers are not on the list?
The Mighty Mufulira Wanderers ar playin division two soccer, and they ar doing exceptionally fine. If they keep it up like tht we may be watchn them in premier soccer…
My gosh how times have changed the Wanderers were the cream of the crop back then, how did they fall to division 2 sure? Hope they can come back to division one. Thanks for the update.
by the way what do you have to do to be demoted to division 2? Do you have to lose so many games in so many years or some politics is involved haha
