Kenyan striker Moses Shumah propelled Power Dynamos to a 1-0 victory over Nkwazi on Wednesday.
Left-back Evans Ogbonda was the provider inside four minutes, curling a pinpoint cross from the left for in-form Striker Moses Shumah to tap home from close range and give the visitors a dream start.
Nkwazi came close to finding the equalizer while Power also almost got a second but Ankobo’s effort was blocked by an alert Adrian Chama.
The second half became a seesaw affair, but Power’s defence held firm to secure maximum points and extend their unbeaten run to 15 matches.
The Kitwe giants have now extended their lead at the summit to 64 points while second placed Red Arrows are on 54 points, opening a ten point lead.
Meanwhile Shumah has now taken his tally to 21 goals for the season, 10 more than the next player Albert Kangwanda who is on 11.
Elsewhere Derrick Bulaya’s brace earned Green Eagles a 2-1 victory over Zanaco at Sunset Stadium.
Green Eagles took the lead in the 15th minute through Derrick Bulaya, capitalising on sustained early pressure. Zanaco responded and drew level in the 43rd minute when Araina Lambert finished calmly after being set up by Mwape Mwenya, sending the teams into halftime at 1–1.
The second half was marked by tension and controversy. Green Eagles defender Aron Mushure was involved in a dramatic goal-line incident when the ball was cleared with a hand, leading the referee to award a penalty to Zanaco. The decision was heavily protested by the visitors, resulting in a stoppage of about 15 minutes.
Zanaco were eventually awarded a penalty. However, Wilson Chisala struck the crossbar from the spot, denying the hosts a late lead.
Moments later, Green Eagles made Zanaco pay for the missed chance as Bulaya completed his brace in the 89th minute to seal the win and secure all three points for the visitors.
The win takes Green Eagles to 4th place with 44 points.
