Zesco, Buildcon draw

- By MICHAEL MIYOBA

THE MTN/FAZ Super Division finally swung into action as defending Champions Zesco United survived a scare and avoided defeat to hold Kansanshi Dynamos 1-1 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Striker Jese Were scored a late equaliser to cancel out Clement Mwape’s own goal which had given the Beston Chambeshi tutored Kansashi Dynamos the lead four minutes into the second half of the tightly contested fixture.

The stalemate pushed Zesco who recorded two positive cases of Covid-19 to fourth on the 18-team Super Division table with 43 points.

The Ndola giants are on par with Kitwe giants, Nkana who moved to fifth on the log because of goal deference.

Kansanshi maintained their 14th position on the log with 26 points and look set to survive the relegation battle.

Meanwhile in the the lunchtime kickoff at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Buildcon FC came from behind to force a 1-1 stalemate against Power Dynamos.

Midfielder Biston Banda gave a dominant Power the lead in the 16th minute.

Power were unfortunat­e as they missed a lot of chances having dominated ball possession.

Power were punished for their poor finishing when Buildcon FC skipper Mushili Chanda equalized for team Kopala a minute after half time as the two teams shared the points. On Wednesday, Super League action returns with Zanaco FC who have a busy schedule, facing Nkana before they travel to Choma for a date with Green Eagles.
