  1. lets get ready to rumbleeee–well ghana has been duped and it will be replayed
    by FIFA.

    ANYWAY I BELIEVE HE CHIPOS WILL TRY TO AVOID A LOOSE;.

    • Silly Ghanaian, your country will not qualify so wats will all your jealousy? Nigeria is at the World cup with a game to spare. Can Ghana dream of that ?

  2. 12′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Wins a throw on the right deep in the Nigerian half but Echijile defends well from the resultant throw

  3. 13′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Augustine skins his marker on the right but his cross is beyond the box and doesnt find anyone

  4. 14′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Greta transition into attack as Fashion is played through by Mwepu but he slams his shot into the side netting

  5. 16′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Earlier Ziyo showed some resolute defending when he thwarted a Victor MOses attack in the middle

  6. 17′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Another attack on the left as Kapumbu is beaten for pace by Victor Moses but his cross is just missed by Ighalo

  7. 19′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Again Victor breaks on the left on a counter attack but Ziyo recovers well to slide in for a corner

  8. 23′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Ziyo’s back pass is poor and is stolen by Simon Moses but Sunzu does well to protect Mweene as he collects

  9. The so called Zambian commentator guy might as well be a Nigerian; he is overselling his attempts to seem impartial at the expense of reporting fairly for Zambia

  10. 24′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Goooallll no ruled offside
    Mweene plays the ball straight into attack and Mweene’s touch sees Augustine Mulenga go one on one with goalie and he slots home but he is flagged offside

  11. Can i join this company. Yes. Zambia almost became too comfortable to start losing ideas and the tide swang towards Nigeria again. Zambia survive two corners. A ball over the top finds Augustine. Did Zambia score. No offside. A Nigerian player on the floor as play breaks up.

  12. 31′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Best chance of the game falls to Ngonga but he shoots over the bar after doing a good job to shrug off the defender

  13. 32′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Moses Simon puts in a good cross from the left but Ziyo saves the day as Ighalo was waiting to punish Zambia

  14. 36′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Ngonga tries an audacious shot on the volley on the edge of the box but the execution is poor

  15. 43′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Zambian defense standing strong… Another good job by Ziyo to close the space for Ighalo after Victor had driven through the middle

  16. 45′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Nigeria find space on the left and drive into the box, but Simon goes for the scissors kick which put the ball over the bar
    Earlier Augustine found space but was thwarted by two defender in the box

  17. Sounds good. So far so good. U.20 you said. They can play, they are capable. About 55min yo go hope we snick in another goal since one has been disallowed

  18. Zambia had the ball in the net through Augustine Mulenga but flagged offside. Looked on side, should have stood.
    Ngonga saw a good shot from outside the box come off the post with the keeper beaten.
    A good game for the Chipolopolo this far

  19. Zambia could have been 2 goals up….one dissallowed n the one that smashed the upright.Fashion Sakala looks lost ,Wada should tweak the team a bit

  20. As good as Zambia’s played, they still need to score. The Nigerians will start fast in the 2nd half and tire out in 10 minutes.

  21. 67′ Nigeria 0 – 0 Zambia
    Simon Silwimba slams a cross from the right but it is deflected for a corner as Ngonga waited to finish off

      • WELL,-THE MACTH IS GOING TO BE PLAYED
        AGAIN-A SOUTH AFRICAN REFEREE DID NOT
        ACEPTED A LAST LAST MINUTE GOAL FROM GHANA.

        THERE WAS A SHOT FROM A BLACK STAR
        PLAYER WHICH HIT THE CHIN OF ONYANO AND
        A GHANAIAN STRIKER PUT IT IN THE POST
        WHICH THE LINESMAN FLAGED OFFSIDE;

        THERE IS AN APPEAL TO FIFA TO BE PLAYED IN A
        NEUTERAL COUNTRY MR BUFALLO;-U WILL HEAR FROM
        GHANA LATER;…

  22. In such a tight contest; you cant win if the refs hand is weighted towards Nigeria-disgrace to African football! Ghana were for once cheated out of a goal in Kampala-offside decision seems to be the new take a bride mechanism as day light robbery penalties are now out of fashion on the African continent

    • U DAMN RIGHT__R2D2 GHANA HAVE BEEN ROBBED
      BY A LATE GOAL BY SUOTH AFRICAN REFEREE

      GHANA -0 UGANDA -0 ;

      IT IS GOING TO BE REPLAYED BY FIFA IN A DIFFERENT
      FIELD;..

      A GHANAIAN REFEREE ROBBED A PENALTY TO SOUTH AFRICA
      AND ITS GOING TO BE REPLAYED BY FIFA -SO AS GHANA
      AND UGANDA..

  23. What’s the point of watching African football-as for Nigeria’s 11 wins to Zambia’s 7 – how many were played in Nigeria and you have to remember back in those days the African nations cup host wud never lose as Caf and officals wud make sure of that-African football is hot air; internet gambling has only made it alot worse

  24. ACC should investigate why Alex Gong’a is still in the team it could be the process of calling Ngon’a was fruad.

  25. After all the noise one would expect Zambia to turn up. The Algerian victory was purely because the north Africans had a weak team. Zambia will be trashed by Cameroon in Ndola to end the qualifiers. Sorry noise makers

  26. Hahahaha I love the taste of Zambian tears. So tell us the last time you beat Nigeria. Or why you never qualify to world cup? ???

  27. your little dream of qualifying to the world is a mere fallacy, how in your widest dreams did you think you can ever match super eagles talent for talent? your ugly ass coach will now shut that gutter he calls a mouth….watch us in russia…foools

    • You always bow out in the 2 nd round unlike Cameroon, Senegal n Ghana who at least made the quarter finals. You shouldn’t even boast cos you are s nation of 260 million people

  28. we have lost yes, but gentlemen today Zambia played the best of their qualifiers. Lets not take away anything from them, if the qualifying games were played with this quality, no doubt would have been in Russia already. Well done Wada and the lads.

  29. Well done Chipolopolo at least I have confidence we have a team, give the boys time to mature and we will conquer Africa again our boys are young. realistically those nigerian super chickens sweated!!!!!

  30. With all the noise about big names that play in Europe, that performance by Nigeria against inexperience team like Zambia is not impressive. In fact, had the ref not disallow a clear goal for Zambia, Nigeria would have been beaten in Uyo today.

    • Shut up, Stop blaming the ref, the Nigerian defender simply stopped marking your striker immediately he heard the whistle.

      After the goal that was disallowed, what happened?

      The story is no longer that you’ll beat Nigeria. I wish Nigeria actually took most of their chances, you guys won’t be saying this thrash.

    • He selected NO proven goal scorers at international level. Had Collins been there; Wada would have brought him on but Wada screwed up in the striking department.

  31. Zambians, be realistic here. Were you expecting to win the game. Nigeria was not Algeria, and the fact that Nigeria needed a draw on their home soil make it more difficult. However, the Zambian team look promising. The future is bright if they can continue from where they stopped. People talking about disallowed goal, he might not score if the ref did not blow, the whistle slowed down the response of the defenders. Anyway, start preparing for Quatar 2022 (But pray that you are not in Nigeria group again).

  32. They bought the referee.This is the reason why African football will never developer.useless Nigerians they were outplayed today.

  33. Faz should fire this idiot.. How can you leave out kalaba and sinkala, mbola and chongo.. Our wing backs are very poor.. The midfield lacked everything.. We should have beaten nigeria the team was well drilled and selected on merit

  34. My analysis:

    Oh my! This is definitely a better Zambian side than we played earlier. They gave us a scare but our experience won u the game.

    The game could have gone either side had the ref allowed that goal. But I guess the ref was right. The whistle went long before the Zambian no.9 took the shot. And it was a close call. The camera angle on replay do no justice and cannot be relied on.

    Positives:
    The Zambian team is definitely a team of the future. They are unlucky to be in such a group with Nigeria, but yet they must grow. I knew it before that it would be tough beating Zambia, but their inexperience would give them away. And I think it did; seeing that they appeared demoralized and lost steam after conceding.
    Well from here it can only be an upward spiral for the team. They gave a good account. And credits to the coach as well.

    This crop of Nigerian team impresses me. Qualifying in a difficult group with one game to spare. Impressive.
    I expect a good run for them in Russia. They have the quality and the coach.

  35. It’s funny how people only see what they want to see. From a neutral perspective, the so-called goal that Zambia scored was called offside long before the player put the ball in the net. Watch the highlights and you can hear the whistle which led some of the Nigerian players to stop playing while another defender chases the Zambian striker. In comparison to what happened to Ghana, that was an offside call. Anyways, well done to Zambia for a very impressiive display away from home.
