U20 Afcon Semi final: Zambia v South Africa as it happened

Zambia’s Heroes stadium tonight hosts a sold out 60 000 game between Zambia and South Africa and Zamfoot crew takes a look at how the Zambia’s 4-5-1 formation.

The four man defence back line will have Captain Solomon Sakala and  Moses Nyondo at the heart  while prosper Chilufya will be looking to continue where he ended the previous note on the right wing.

The left will will be taken care of She my Alves Mayembe whose overlapping runs  and ever reliable crosses have become his trademark.

Emmanuel Banda who came in as an impact player in Zambia’s 3 victory in their previous match will take care of the midfield giving Enoch Computer Mwepu a freelancing role.This partnership has been likened to the Xavi,Iniesta duo but Fashion Sakala on the right wing will be looking forward to add the Luis Suerez like wrist wear to complete the once upon a time Barcelona like lethal partnership.

Parson Daka upfront will play as the lone striker  and as expected Coach Quick Silver will be expecting the young lad to offer quick runs and spirited shots to add to his four goals tally for the tournament thus far.

The Chipolopolo 11 man troops will  shall be completed with Edward  Chilufya  on the right wing and his ever reliable crosses will certainly be one that Chipolopolo will need to make it into the finals.

Mangani Banda remains between the stocks for the Juniour Chipolopolo and the Zesco United third choice will be looking to impress tonight.

  1. SA have a clear sight of goal, they blaze it high. Zambias turn, Sakala gets a corner. Keeper challenged, he has glue in his hands. Gets injured in his tenancity. Very organized this SA side.

  2. Come on Zambia. Both sides throwing away possession in the middle. Chilufya tries a wasteful long range. SA goal kick. Zambia should edge the ball possession.

  3. Don’t panic Nyondo gives away a corner. comes back into play Singh boots it high. Searching ball, SA keeper collects.

  4. What I’ve realized in this game is that both teams are playing cautiously. This normally happens during Heavy Weight fights. You don’t just have to attack and attack without covering your back or else your opponent will make use of those spaces you create and hammer you. Tactics are on display.

  5. Zambia have started ball watching as the SA boys do quick passes. Shibobo. Sakala selfish after beatng a few. SA starts. Mental strength we waste a good position. Sparks Chipolopolo anthem.

  6. South Africa using Sangoma’s how is not going in? These Xenophobic people and their Sangoma’s they did something to our players. Lol

  7. They look confident and fresh SA as extra time starts. That defensive stop by Zambia. Can you put together a game, we’ve had the clearer chances.

  8. Civillians in Zambia don’t have teargas, why would these indecipline PF Police fire a tear gas in a stadium? This is rediculous.

      • IN ACCRA_THE YEAR 2000 _GHANA- THE STUPID POLIce SPRAYED GAS ON THE SPECTATORS 110 spectators died
        THEY LOST THEIR LVES

        • I think its luck of proper training by our Police, you just don’t that unless you are trying to take out a terrorist or some sort because fans would be running wildly for fear of the gas and that would cause a stampede and likely injuries or death.

  9. This is the only way this game could have ended. I see more tough battles between these two great sides in the future.

  10. Wow congratulations Zambia.

    Pleased these youngsters can end a tight game in normal time, a few chances i saw blasted over but there is quality in this side and it has shone.

  11. Am not happy. ….The guru. …the real guru is not happy. …Beston is a crap coach ……A crap coach…..totally useless….He is lucky we have players……why has he blacklisted Luchanga???? That Kalunga guy was a useless sub. …..and his tactics u see Patson marked out of the game. ……why not move him to the wing to create space for others to exploit

    • Come on Soccerguru, lets save it for now, days ago this coach was a hero now you are calling him useless/crap? Come on man, you are better than that, but I respect your opinion.

  12. I totally disagree with that for me kalunga was soo good the ball control the passes etc what game were you watching mate if I may ask

  13. Your title: “U20 AFCON SEMI FINAL: ZAMBIA V SOUTH AFRICA AS IT HAPPENED” but you went on explaining WHAT WILL HAPPEN with the 4-5-1 formation and how players WILL PLAY sometimes ba ZAMFOOT can be something else.Yes just pull up your socks this place attract lots of football lovers but this kind of writing leaves a lot to be desired.

  14. THUMBS UP ZAMFOOT FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

    JUST POINTS OF CORRECTION: 1. PROSPER’S SURNAME IS CHILUYA NOT CHILUFYA. 2. SHEMY MAYEMBE IS A RIGHT BACK WHILE PROSPER CHILUYA IS A LEFT BACK NOT VICE VERSA.

  15. Guys who is this Charlie Musonda and why does he not play for the Zambian national team? I was researching the best youngs dribblers 2015/16 and found him.
