The 2025/26 MTN Super League title race remains delicately balanced after defending champions Power Dynamos FC and log leaders Red Arrows FC both recorded vital victories on Sunday. With only a single point separating the top two sides after 22 rounds, the championship contest is entering a decisive phase.
Arrows Maintain Summit
At Nkoloma Stadium, Red Arrows produced a composed 3-1 victory over ZESCO United FC to preserve their slender advantage at the summit.
Angel Lubamba struck as early as the third minute, setting the tempo in a fixture defined by intensity and tactical discipline. ZESCO restored parity just before the break through Amine Hiver, ensuring the contest remained finely poised at halftime.
However, Arrows demonstrated superior second-half execution. Alassane Diarra restored the lead in the 58th minute, while Albert Kangwanda sealed the win in stoppage time (90+4), registering his 10th goal of the campaign. The result keeps Arrows narrowly ahead and reinforces their consistency at a critical juncture of the season.
Abayellow Respond in Style
In Kitwe, Power Dynamos showcased resilience with a 3-1 comeback triumph over Nchanga Rangers FC.
Jacob Kaunda’s sixth-minute opener stunned the hosts, but the defending champions recalibrated after the interval. Frederick Mulambia levelled in the 47th minute before Innocent Kashita turned the game on its head in the 75th minute. Chifundo Mpasi added gloss to the scoreline with a stoppage-time strike (90+1).
The victory moves Dynamos to 42 points — just one behind Arrows — sustaining pressure at the top and setting up an enthralling run-in.
Warriors Impress on the Road
At Sunset Stadium in Lusaka, Kabwe Warriors FC secured a disciplined 2-0 away win against Green Buffaloes FC.
Simon Tonga broke the deadlock in the 51st minute before Saith Sakala sealed maximum points with a composed finish in the 85th minute. The result strengthens Warriors’ push in the upper half of the table.
Mutondo and Eagles Boost Campaigns
Mutondo Stars FC enhanced their survival prospects with a commanding 2-0 victory over FC Leopards. Joseph Wa Kiala Kiala delivered a match-winning brace in the 25th and 51st minutes, ensuring three crucial points in the relegation battle.
Meanwhile in Choma, Green Eagles FC completed a 2-1 comeback against Kansanshi Dynamos FC after the fixture resumed following Saturday’s weather interruption. Aaron Musore had given Kansanshi the early advantage before Mathews Banda equalised upon restart. Derrick Bulaya’s 72nd-minute strike secured victory for the Kawale Boys, lifting them to seventh position on the log.
Conclusion
With just one point separating Red Arrows and Power Dynamos, the MTN Super League title race remains finely poised. Consistency, squad depth and composure under pressure will define the final stretch. If Week 22 is any indication, the championship battle is far from settled.
