ZESCO Ndola Girls have moved three points clear at the summit of the ZPL Women’s Super Division Northern Zone following a hard-fought 2-0 victory over city rivals Indeni Roses.
The two sides went into Sunday’s derby level on 19 points, but goals from Charity Mubanga and Mila Milambo ensured the Zegalicious Girls claimed all three points and bragging rights.
Mubanga broke the deadlock in the 15th minute, reacting quickest to a poorly cleared ball to put the hosts in front.
Indeni pushed hard for an equaliser, but goalkeeper Annie Namonje proved equal to the task, producing a series of crucial saves, including denying Grace Phiri in a one-on-one situation and Ngosa Chabwe from close range.
ZESCO remained organised defensively before sealing the victory in the 87th minute when Milambo tapped home from close range after being set up by Eneless Phiri.
The result takes ZESCO Ndola Girls to 22 points, opening up a three-point cushion over Indeni Roses in the race for Northern Zone supremacy.
