A round-up of Zambian players abroad

Lubambo Musonda was in action for Gandzasar on Saturday when they lost 2 – 0 away at Mika in the league. With Gandzasar having won 1 – 0 at the same venue in midweek, Mika turned the tide around and scored on either side of the half to move within four points of their visitors who are in 5th position while they stand in 6th. Lubambo played 90 minutes.

Ronald Kampamba was not named on the bench when Lierse beat Heist 4 – 0 in the Belgian second division.

In the Portuguese second division, Moses Phiri started the game and helped his team Academico Viseu win their first match in eight outings when they beat 10 man Vitoria Guimaraes 2 – 0. Phiri played 45 minutes but was not on target.

In Egypt Patrick Ngoma’s Al Ittihad will be in action tomorrow.

In the French Ligue 1, Stopilla Sunzu was on the bench for Lille when they beat visiting Toulouse 1 – 0 at home. The win takes Sunzu’s team into 9th position.

  1. Smell a rat with the Kangwa injury. Played 80 mins then injured just before international week? Needs to be examined by Zambian doctors.

  2. As we blog maturely, let’s keep in mind that we only react to what we read on ZAMFOOT, we are not privy to what goes on behind the scenes. Whether the coach has been in touch with or why he is not using some players we may not be aware and should take things as given.
    So to start calling names may not be the best approach because the coach always has his job in addition to his own and his country’s pride and indeed the ire of supporters to think about.

  3. We all need to support our team nd respect de coach’s decision on de pickups I think he best knoz Y some talents ar nt represented in the team….ours z to drum up support for our team nd wish them de best.

  4. Even if he made mistake in the selection of players be mindful the he is still George, not an idiot, just advice normally, what you call some one you will be called Too.

  5. It is very sad that our players cannot even make the bench even in some of these useless leagues.hopefully with the change of admin at FAZ we will be able to market our players properly instead of sending all of them to Thailand.
