The Junior Chipolopolo hit 5 past the young Warriors with Salim Abel Nyirongo scoring a hatrick to storm the semi finals of the Cosafa U17 Cup.
Mapalo Simute gave the Under-17 the lead before Nyirongo’s master class.
Substitute Nkotami Chimwemwe wrapped up the win with a 25 yard scorcher.
James Sibene marshaled the defence.
Robert Banda started the match.
Ian Bakala’s fledglings lead the Group B on 6 points after Thursday’s 8-0 demolishing of Namibia.
Zimbabwe beat Eswatini in the first match.
Zambia will play their final group match on Monday against Eswatini.
FULL-TIME: Zambia 5-1 Zimbabwe (Mapalo Simute 8’, Abel Nyirongo 79’, 85’, 88’, Nkotami Chimwemwe 90’ | Valentine Macheka 31’)
My best wishes to the under 17 and my wish is that they should continue playing together as a team and understand each other they’ll make a better team.
Congratulations, go Zambia go
