Power 1 Arrows 0
POWER Dynamos yesterday laboured to get this win off a 10-man Red Arrows but they will not care as it not just helped them bounce back to winning ways but also into joint leadership of the MTN-FAZ Premier table.
Power toiled to score and were clearly suffering from a lingering hangover from that 1-2 away loss to Zesco United in their last game out. Yesterday’s victory put Power at par with Green Buffaloes on 16 points for at least 24 hours.
It took 84 minutes for Power break their longest deadlock this season when Gampani Lungu headed-in Kennedy Mudenda’s cross from the left to score his debut Power goal.
The win came a week after Zesco United dispatched Power to their first loss of the 2018 season while the loss for Arrows saw them suffer their third successive league defeat.
Eagles 4 KYSA 0

BUILDCON finally saw light at the end of a dark tunnel after recording their first win of the season, thanks to a first-half brace from former Mufulira Wanderers forward Rahim Osumanu reports NDINAWE SIMPELWE from Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
After failing to pick a win in the first five games which also resulted in changes on the technical bench, Osumanu eased the pressure with a brace that sent Buildcon temporarily out of the relegation Zone to 16th position with five points.
Osumanu put the hosts ahead after just seven minutes heading in a Chisamba Lungu free-kick before bagging his brace nine minutes later benefiting from another Lungu assist.
Swallows pulled one back in the 78th minute through Joseph Mwindilila to give the game a nervy end but Buildcon held on to the lead to pick their first maximum points of the season.
