Napsa Stars have handed Zesco United their first loss of the season when they beat the Ndola side 1 – 0 at Heroes Stadium.
Collins Sikombe who was came in for U20 midfielder Enock Mwepu who is out on national duty scored the only goal of the match in the 15th minute when he ran on to a poor back pass from David Odhiambo.
