Konkola Blades moved into fourth place on the Faz Super Division table on Wednesday after beating their arch-rivals Nchanga Rangers 1-0 in a rescheduled Week 24 match at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
Captain Robert Tembo converted a 19th minute penalty awarded to Blades by Kapiri-Mposhi referee Jani Sikazwe following a handball in the Rangers backline.
Both Blades and Rangers ended with 10-men after Sikazwe flashed a red card on either team.
Rangers defender Louis Musonda was sent off in the 54th minute for a second bookable foul while Blades’ Chewe Mukuka received a straight red for a two legged crude tackle on striker Alex Ng’onga after 59 minutes.
Ng’onga later in the game missed from close range with only Bladers keeper Beckie Bizangi to beat he shot wide.
Blades revenged the 1-0 defeat they suffered in the reverse fixture at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola.
The Chililabombwe side has 44 points displacing Red Arrows who drew 0-0 against Zesco United on the fourth spot.
