CHAN: Namibia 2 – 1 Zambia (As it happened)

The Zambia national team will today take on Namibia on a Rwanda CHAN qualifier.

George Lwandamina will be looking to pick his first win since his appointment as Chipolopolo interim coach.

Zambia arrived in Windhoek on Friday and the team had their last training session at the match venue yesterday in the afternoon.

The return match will be at Lusaka’s Nkoloma stadium on July 5, 2015.

The winner over the two legs will face either Mozambique or Seychelles in the race to the Rwanda championship.

Zambia’s starting eleven:

Danny Munyao, Donashano Malama, Fackson Kapumbu, Bronson Chama, Christopher Munthali, Kondwani Mtonga, Justin Zulu, Allan Mukuka,Winston Kalengo, Jimmy Njobvu, Jackson Mwanza.

  1. Can Faz please stop using this crap Woodlands stadium for televised matches,it is soo embarrassing for the all of Africa to see,we can do better than that.

  2. 20′ Namibia 0 – 1 Zambia

    Zambia in command of the game. Namibia chasing shadows. Kapumbu doing well on the left

  3. That is what am talking about,these are stupid ,useless footballing Nations which are not supposed to give us sleepless nights.Just give them four to no eggs,they grew big headed after that Cosafa win.

    • They mean serious business. Just hide in your old clothes & grade yourself among the best. Self deception. We are amongst the downtrodden. China is now a superpower. Russia can claim to be super power too after the fall of the Berlon wall. ZAMBIA deceiving itself. Hanging on a single “old glory”.

  4. Zambian football is incurerable , may be let’s change the coaches. We are tired pliz ashiiiii!!!!!!!

  5. Could not beat Namibia at a neutral group and we think we can go into Namibia and win? Lets fight for a draw. Kalu has killed Zambian football through his corruption and his inability to lead at FAZ. Remove Kalu and his nonsense. We will be booted out by Namibia yet again.

  6. Actually I knew this was going to happen, I have watched Zambia and its very easy to predict. I mentioned it at half time, we are not good at defending when we score early.

  7. When I talked about Zambia learning from the minnows others thought I was joking.This is football.Zambia must change its ways before the worst is experienced. Maybe I have to say it in a crude way possible……’Some players are too small and weak to compete internationally.’ I have said this and I repeat it again.

  8. It is so disappointing to see the level of football in Zambia, it seems our players are not ready to die a little for there country. Little wonder why players from Zambia fail to make it in top European leagues.

  9. Am still sticking to my saying that we have been reduced to the level of now competing with little Namibia,I know a lot of these stupid teams have improved but that does not mean us being on the same level with them,anyway come what may they will be sorted out in the return match.Stupid show boating over the might Chipolopolo.

  10. Zambia is finished. How can Jackso Mwanza and Jimmy with 6 goals in the zpl be the starting strikers.Where is Kenney Mudenda?

  11. This was expected, I can’t be surprised thanks for the full update Ba Zed. We need serious coaches that can read games not that Chicken

  12. This is not good for us.But I saw this coming,we have been pretenders for so long. It’s high time we are shown are true standing in terms of the quality of our game

  13. Ba Zed at Sam Nujoma Stadium, you have done a woderful job. Thank you. Can you give us an analysis of the game. Where did it go wrong for the vanguished Rubber bullets?

  14. If you used to eat beef and then you stop and adopt pork thinking that you have stopped eating meat is exactly what happened here. Firing Janza and getting Ba lwandamina is the same. Thanks to Namibia for putting us where we belong as at now. No hard feelings but the best and deserving team has won. The fact that things are not done in a transparent manner will cost us a lot. If countries like Congo Braville can advertise the vacancy of their national team, why not the might Chipolopolo ? GIGO= gabbage in gabbage out, useless coaches useless results. For those of u who want to insult me, the floor is yours.

  15. Have you ever thought about Maitee yiwina ichungulo? Lack of CONCENTRATION has been the problem with Zambian football for ages. Mighty Muf would win most of their games because the majority of their opponents would lose concentration towards the end of the matches. The old sickness in the recent past has become more prominent at all levels including Chipoloplo my team. What is the solution? I do not think the problem is with coaches. Is it ichimamo?

  16. Honestly speaking,I don’t blame the boys,rather I blame those who select them to the national team.Our league is not short of quality players but we have continued having faith in those who can’t perform.There is great need to be objective when selecting players if we are to start winning games

  17. What we need is an overhaul of the football house.We have had enough of this poor shows by our team.Someone somewhere is not doing his job,if he is,then he is doing it wrongly

  18. Naked goal am with you. Where there is no transparency such things are bound to happen. Even those advocating for head hunting will realise that its not the best way for us especially with this kind of results. Chipolopolo have lost grip and a lot has to change from the league to football house.

  19. Kalu just what is wrong with you bro,right now everything Zambian sticks too bad am part of that sticking.Why are these clowns doing this to our major sport.Just what makes them think that those ZESCO granpas will deliver?now I understand why we are even failing in Continental competitions,these local clowns are soo pathetic or is it football comedians they need to join Bob Mukosha alias Dorika am sure he has got some space for these useless comedians.

  20. Country men let us be fair in criticizing the coach’s . You see now most of you wanted Janza fired . And faz succumbed to your criticism by bringing headless chicken lwandamina . Now who is better Janza or Chicken . To me Janza was just ok . The problem we have is we are good at spoiling not building and please faz don’t listen to people who have hidden agenda’s or people who suffers pull him down syndrome. Lastly am at pain losing to Namibia is a nightmare

  21. Zamfoot you are welcome. I have to take time to thank you and all the bloggers for the work you do. Now I know that ‘live texting’ is not as easy as I though especially when using a mobile phone. Hats of to you!! I have been your keen folloewer since about 2007.

  22. @ Victor Muyemba don’t say Janza was better, I know you are a pro local coach. But i tell you we don’t have a qualified local coach at the moment to handle our team.

    Look at our local clubs, their performance is pathetic at international level because of poor coaching.
