Kansanshi Dynamos 2-1 Kafue Celtic
Kansanshi Dynamos secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Kafue Celtic. Kelvin Chisamba broke the deadlock for Dynamos, followed by a clinical finish from Tranqulin Kalonji Mwepu to double their lead. David Chilufya pulled one back for Celtic, but Dynamos held firm to stay in second place.
Konkola Blades 3-0 Leopards Hill

Jumulo 0-1 Trident
Trident snatched a narrow 1-0 win over Jumulo thanks to a penalty converted by Walaza Tembo. The result keeps Trident in fifth place, while Jumulo remain stuck in mid-table obscurity.
Mines United 1-0 Prison Leopards
Progress Bwalya’s lone strike earned Mines United a 1-0 victory over Prison Leopards. The win lifts Mines to sixth, while Leopards’ top-four ambitions suffered a setback.
Kitwe United 0-1 Riverplate
Riverplate edged Kitwe United 1-0 in a tense encounter, with Benjamin Saeli scoring the decisive goal. The win solidifies Riverplate’s grip on third place in the ZPL National League.
Chirundu United 0-1 Chambishi
Chambishi climbed out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win over Chirundu United. James Chilimina netted the winner, leaving Chirundu just three points above the drop zone.
Chipata United 1-1 Young Green Buffaloes
Chipata United and Young Green Buffaloes shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw. Isaac Banda put Chipata ahead, but Steve Phiri equalized for Buffaloes, leaving both teams languishing in the relegation battle.
Kafue Eagles 0-0 Aguila Stars
Kafue Eagles and Aguila Stars played out a goalless stalemate, with neither side able to break the deadlock. The result does little to ease relegation fears for either team.
Mpulungu Harbour 0-0 Ndola United
Mpulungu Harbour and Ndola United also ended in a 0-0 draw, a result that highlights both teams’ struggles to convert chances in the final third.

- Kansanshi Dynamos (44 pts): Must fix defensive fragility to challenge Blades.
- Riverplate (39 pts): Dark horses—their defense could propel them into the top two.
- Relegation Zone: Chipata (19 pts) needs a miracle, while Leopards Hill (20 pts) must overhaul tactics.
