Zesco United have beaten Indeni 2-0 in the away Ndola derby to open a ten point lead at the top of the FAZ Super Division table.
Zesco left it late to collect three points in this round 27 tie played at Indeni Sports Complex on Saturday.
Indeni managed to hold Zesco until the 83rd minute when defender Mwila Phiri breached the Oil Men backline.
Coach Numba Mumamba’s Zesco doubled the lead four minutes later with new signee Chitiya Mususu opening his account at the Ndola side – months after joining them from Zanaco.
The win pushes Zesco to 52 points after playing 24 matches as Indeni drop one place down to number 11 on 33 points.
