In this thrilling Week Seven fixture played before a packed stadium, Roan stunned the league leaders by taking the lead on 20 minutes through an expertly struck Arthur Kaseloki free-kick which eluded Power goalkeeper, Joshua Titima.
Power were lucky to end the first half just trailing 1-0 after referee Allan Simukonda called back an Anos Tembo goal for offside.
Roan suffered a setback early in the second half after goalkeeper Evans Mwewa was streched out after colliding with a rampaging Power attacker, Alex Ng’onga.
With a victory seemingly assured, Roan were reduced to 10 men when Kaseloki was sent off for a second bookable offence, throwing the initiative to the visitors.
Taking advantage of their numerical advantage, Power gracefully restored parity on 77 minutes through towering Richard Kasonde who headed home a Lawrence Chungu set piece.
Power maintain their three points cushion at the summit on 17 points.
