Zesco United were in uncompromising mood on Sunday afternoon when electrocuted Mufulira Wanderers with a 4 – 1 score line.
Goals from Cletus Chama, Jackson Mwanza, Winston Kalengo and Kenyan international David Odhiambo handed Zesco their second successive win with two games in hand following last weekends exit from the 2015 CAF Champions League.
Chama scored from the spot after Taonga Bwembya handled in the box in the 15th minute before Kalengo made it two after an assist from Humphrey Maseneko.
Mwanza scored a third in the 37th minute while Odhiambo headed home in the 61st minute.
Moses Lolozi scored a late consolation from the spot after Odhiambo had handled in the box.
The win moves Zesco into 4th position on 6 points 2 points behind leaders Green Eagles with two games in hand.
Wanderers now drop into 6th position level on points with Power Dynamos, Zesco United, Nchanga Rangers and Konkola Blades.
Zesco next play Nkana.

Jacob Banda – Dauti Musekwa, Ayo Oluwafemi, Kondwani Mtonga, David Odhiambo – Misheck Chaila, Justin Zulu (Maybin Mwaba), Clatous Chama (Christopher Chigozi) – Humphrey Maseneko, Jackson Mwanza, Winston Kalengo (Juma Luzio)

Hard lucky Mighty.
This is the begging of the real test of the zpl football for Wanderers.
Zega will beat many a team this year. Next up is my Nkana who certainly need to pull up their socks next Saturday!
This is just a minor setback but we will bounce back pretty soon. We are a big team and cannot lose focus by losing to a team that that has been in CAF competitions for ages and have failed to deliver.
