Comment:GOOD LACK TO ZAMBIA WARK HAND
The coach has been busy praising his team before the games, now look at this result. Is this the team that can win the U20 Africa cup? Forget it!!

It’s a friendly match played with very few days to actual match . Evidently, most players would approach it casually.
