Zambia beat Zimbabwe 1-0 courtesy of an Isaac Chansa second half strike.
With Christopher Katongo the only recognizable striker starting for Zambia, Chipolopolo coach George Lwandamina will be happy to have seen his team come out with 16 shots on goal with 5 of those on target and one resulting in a goal.
it was Zimbabwe who took the game to Zambia and the early pressure almost paid off Kabamba was beaten to the ball by the Zimbabwean attacker who the lobbed the ball over an advancing Banda only for Mfune to clear the ball off the line with header in the 47th minute.
After that, Zambia stabilized with Mwape Mwelwa drifting more inside and it was not long before Chansa showed class to running onto a set piece which he acrobatically volleyed at the back post.
it was a sweet victory. go! zambia go!
Thanks for the video. I didn’t watch the game but it shows that we were very lucky! Considering all the problems Zim had going into this tournament, I expected an easier game. We definitely need to step up our game to earn a place into the quarter finals
