Na Hussein Day of Algeria were hosted by Green Eagles in the CAF confederations cup first Round at the Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka yesterday.
The Algerian side arrived in Zambia a day before the game with two players suspended due to injuries.
Both teams failed to capitalize on their chances through out the the game,when asked about the team’s performance during the post match interview Chiyangi said
“we wanted to score because playing at home you have to score goals, but am very proud of my team we created chance, it means we have to work extra hard we wanted to Win” he said
Coach Chiyangi went in to say “Na Hussein Dey have more experience than our team and that was the only Advantage.
Anything can happen in the second leg, when we we to Algeria the plan has to be different we have seen the strength,we know they have not played their best game” Chiyangi.

Sunday
TP Mazembe v Zesco United
I foresee all of the teams in the Confed cup being eliminated and the teams in the champions league being relegated to the former.
These four teams should have organised a mini tournament among themselves to gauge their preparedness before facing the opponents. It appears all the teams are facing uphill battles. South African are lucky, they all may end up in the knock out stage. How their four teams were all paired with light weights boggles the mind!
T.P.MAZEMBE 1-0 ZESCO UTD (RESULT)
Why is it that everytime Zambian teams have to face north africans in pregroup stages? This has been the trend since time immemorial.
