Power Dynamos One Win Away from Glory as MTN Super League Reaches Boiling Point

Week 31 of the 2024/25 MTN Super League delivered a feast of unpredictable results, last-minute shocks, and title-chasing tension. With only three games left, Power Dynamos now find themselves just one win away from sealing the championship. However, standing in their way is third-placed Nkana FC, making the next fixture at Arthur Davies Stadium a must-watch.

Here’s a full rundown of what went down and how each result shaped the league standings.

Lumwana Radiants 0-1 Mutondo Stars – Survival Instincts Kick In

In a crucial relegation scrap, Mutondo Stars pulled off a massive win away from home, beating Lumwana Radiants 1-0. The result sees Mutondo climb out of the red zone into 15th with 34 points, while Lumwana drop to 16th with 33 points. This was a six-pointer in every sense, and the Stars’ narrow victory could be the difference between staying up and dropping down.

🗣️ “At this point, we’re not even sure who’s in more danger—Indeni or Lumwana. But Mutondo have reminded us that they are not just stars by name. They shine under pressure!”

Forest Rangers 0-0 Nchanga Rangers – Stalemate Frustration

Both sides played it safe in Ndola as Forest Rangers and Nchanga Rangers shared a goalless draw. The result keeps Forest in 17th place with 32 points, clinging to survival hopes, while Nchanga sit 10th with 37. Forest have now drawn five of their last six matches, desperately needing a win to turn their campaign around.

🗣️ “If draws could win you a league, Forest would already be in Europe. This was football’s version of chewing dry nshima without soup.”

Green Buffaloes 0-1 Nkana FC – The Red Machines March On

Nkana FC remain in title contention after grinding out a 1-0 away win over Green Buffaloes. Now sitting 3rd with 54 points, Nkana are just three behind ZESCO United and nine behind league leaders Power Dynamos. Buffaloes, meanwhile, fall further down to 8th place with 40 points, having won just once in their last six outings.

🗣️ “Buffaloes looked like a battalion without a commander. Nkana said, ‘thank you for your service’—and took the points like a ration pack.”

Indeni 1-0 Mufulira Wanderers – Relegated But Not Forgotten

Already relegated Indeni FC shocked the top-flight by defeating 7th-placed Mufulira Wanderers 1-0. Despite sitting bottom with 15 points, Indeni proved they still have bite. Wanderers, on the other hand, missed a golden chance to solidify their top-eight status and now find themselves with 45 points and mounting pressure.

🗣️ “This is why football is played on the pitch and not in WhatsApp groups. Wanderers forgot to show up—Indeni finally remembered how to win.”

Kabwe Warriors 0-1 ZESCO United – Power Restored for ZESCO

ZESCO United kept their title hopes alive with a professional 1-0 win away at Kabwe Warriors. The result pushes ZESCO to 57 points, six behind Power Dynamos, while Warriors stay 4th with 49 points. It was a blow for Kabwe’s CAF Confederation Cup ambitions, especially after an impressive recent run.

🗣️ “Warriors need more than a drum and vuvuzela. As for ZESCO, the load-shedding may be national, but the wins are private.”

Power Dynamos 2-0 Nkwazi – Title Within Reach

Power Dynamos delivered when it mattered most, defeating Nkwazi FC 2-0 at home to stay top with 63 points. The win keeps them firmly in control and needing just one more victory to lift the trophy. Nkwazi, meanwhile, remain stuck in 5th place with 49 points, and now mathematically out of the title race.

The drama? Power’s next game is against title outsiders Nkana—who could play spoilers.

🗣️ “We repeat, this title is Arthur Davies-bound. If Nkana thought they were still in the race, this win told them—just clap for the champions in advance.”

Red Arrows 0-1 Atletico Lusaka – Arrows Lose Lift-Off

Top-four hopefuls Red Arrows suffered a damaging 1-0 home defeat to 14th-placed Atletico Lusaka. Arrows are now 6th with 47 points and running out of time to reclaim a CAF spot. Atletico, meanwhile, move further from the relegation zone with 36 points, their fight far from over.

🗣️ “Red Arrows went from soaring high to parked hangars. Atletico said, ‘we came to shock you’—and delivered the surprise like DHL express.”

Zanaco 1-0 Green Eagles – A Narrow Lift for Bankers

Zanaco FC may be having a season to forget, but they managed to overcome Green Eagles 1-0 in Lusaka. Zanaco move up to 13th with 36 points, finally earning breathing space. Green Eagles, in 11th with 37 points, continue to underperform despite a talented squad on paper.

🗣️ “Eagles were grounded. Maybe the army needs to hold drills on scoring goals next time!”

The Title Race and Survival Battle: Final Stretch Incoming

With only three games remaining, Power Dynamos lead the pack, but face a tough showdown with Nkana FC up next. ZESCO United are ready to pounce on any slip-up, while the relegation fight remains razor-tight with Forest Rangers, Lumwana Radiants, and Mutondo Stars all within striking distance.

Expect fireworks in Week 32.
