Zesco stumble again as MTN Super League pack close in

Christopher Kumwembe, Eric Chombe, Golden Mashata and Perkins Mwale all netted for Buffaloes, while Titus Chansa scored what proved a consolation for the hosts.

Nkana FC completed one of their best wins in recent seasons when they came from behind to defeat Red Arrows 3-1 in Kitwe on Saturday.
