Zesco United reclaimed top spot today, albeit for 24 hours, after beating town mates Indeni 3-2 in a Ndola derby played at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
The eight-time champions have 18 points from ten games played and are three points ahead of Zanaco and Buildcon although the latter hope to reclaim top spot this Sunday at the same venue against last placed and still winless Kitwe United.
Zesco captain and midfielder John Chingandu broke the deadlock in the 45th minute when he headed-in a Mwape Mwelwa’s cross.
The goal came 34 minutes after veteran Zesco striker Winston Kalengo nodded a Chingandu cross on to the woodwork.
