Abraham Siakombo was the star of the day with a brace (23’, 55’), while David Simukonda sealed it in the 70th minute. A strong statement from the Ndola giants after the scandal of fielding in inelligible players. An action that allowed Zesco been docked 3 points.

Albert Kangwanda added the icing late on, while Mines only salvaged a consolation through Mwachiaaba Akakulubelwa.
Nkana FC nearly snatched three points at home after Matthews Banda’s 75th-minute strike, but a last-gasp equalizer from Billy Daka in stoppage time saw Nkwazi FC spoil the party. A painful blow for the Kitwe faithful. Week 2 is trailing danger for the 13th times champs.
