Zelena and Regina in season 3 were at worst 2-1, not including whenever Zelena owned her during any encounter. Plus, Regina hasn't used light magic since, so that's essentially a fluke. Even a greater addition is that light magic simply stuns her due to the amulet.

Black said Zelena is stronger than Regina. Separately, she said she needed Zelena's magic because it's unstable, which is why Black didn't use her own.

Which spells of the EQ/Regina could Zelena not break? I don't think she ever tried to break any spell by EQ. The town Spell and the Heart spell. Did you miss those episodes?

Also you are talking about Zeleena whose power was amplified by the Necklace that Glinda gave her. Also after Emma used her light magic on Zeleena, Zeleena went on to still use magic perfectly fine. So light magic doesn't stun Zeleena becuase of the amulet. Snark aside, I watch every episode. Regina couldn't break the town spell either, until she found some stuff in her vault to break it after a few weeks. Zelena doesn't have a supply closet as far as we know.

Yes, Zelena was amped. Emma tried doing light magic stuff for the first time and summoned a light above that burned Zelena. If she did a light blast, Emma would have accomplished the same thing Regina did.

Nevertheless, Black versus Zelena was the first time we've seen any indication that someone weaker can't defeat someone more powerful. Once generally has whoever hits first win.
