Zambia will start only Joseph Zimba, Patson Daka, Kennedy Mudenda and Danny Munyao on the bench when they meet Malawi.
Bornwell Mwape who scored the opener against Ghana will miss the match owing to an illness, Aaron Katebe has been ruled out of the game after accumulating two yellow cards, Justine Zulu is injured while Nathan Sinkala was given leave yesterday to attend to personal issues.
Young Red Arrows midfield Paul Katema will get his first start in the Chipolopolo shirt at the heart of the midfield and will partner Kondwani Mtonga.
Davies Nkausu will join Chris Munthali who has been solid at the centre of the defence with Donashano Malama back at right back.

Zambia 0 – 0 Malawi HT
This is one of the worst Zambian team I have seen. they are just pumping the ball forward with no purpose most of the time to whom it may concern. When Malawi are in possession Zambia is just chasing SHADOWS.Malawi is the better side so far.
It is really sad if our style of play these days is the “To whom it may concern” type,then we are in a very serious trouble.
Any ways you made laugh with your comment.
katema alebutaikafye there is fire power upfront and donashano is too porous aposeko amano
i mean no fire power upfront jimmy ndhlovu is lost in the thick of things
Secomd half underway
48′ Zambia 0 – 0 Malawi
Malawi attacking in the early stages
49′ Zambia 0 – 0 Malawi
Jackson drives into the box with a couple of dribbles but final decision making is poor as he shoots wide instead of trying to find his strike partner
51′ another shot from Jackson is just wide off the mark
54′ Zambia 0 – 0 Malawi
Allan tears Malawi on the left but his cross is cut off before reaching his striker
Donashano Malama is not national material, he is such a dull player. I would rather have Mukuka Mulenga on the field than Mudenda for his creativity. Mudenda is not creative! Surely an off form Mukuka is better!
Our Chipantepate Boys Technical bench consist of under five coaches as in compared to the Flames which is of experienced tested coaches.
60′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Howler by Mweene as he is dispossed when he could easily have ceard and he watches the ball role in. Very poor by Zambia captain
65′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Mweene watched the ball roll over the line when he could have stopped. It was a sure red for him if the ball did not go in.
Red card for Malawi. Lucky Malata gets a second booking for a foul on Jackson
Now we know why Mweene is benched people should stop to condemn Sundowns this goalkeeper is finished no two ways about it and him being played was an opportunity for him to market himself as was planned but he has not lived to expetection.
70′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Malawi doing well in keeping the ball despite being a man down
Headlines: 10 man flames embarrasses former AFCON “champions”!
73′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Zambia not dominating despite being a man up.
Header goes wide from Mtonga.
Thank you for the embarrassment, potato head Janza!
75′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Malama gets a second yellow and his also out!
Poor decision making by Malama
Useless team full of clowns.
79′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
No shot on goal so far from Jimmy
Dull Malama needlessly without danger anywhere near, commits a foul and is red carded!
80′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Header from Jackson is way off target
82′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Kennedy Mudenda failing to live up to expectation.
No cross, no run from his so far
We are honetry useless if out of about 15 million people Donnesho Malama is the best right back,better we use that lad Boyd Mkandawire.
85′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Zambian striker failing to find each other now
I cant wait for the comedians to come out in defence of Janza, its simple the players have tuned him out. What are they playing for……? Not for him! the sooner changes are made on the so called technical bench, the quicker we will recover.
74′ – RED CARD! Zambia’s Donashano Malama picked a second yellow for bringing down Frank Banda wide on the left wing. Malama is still receiving treatment though!
87′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi
Malawian player down. Buying some time now.
This will be Malwai’s first victory over Zambia in the Cosafa competition
89′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi

90′ Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi

We currently don’t have a local coach fit enough to coach Chipolopolo. Period

Zambia 0 – 1 Malawi FT
Malwai win the Plate final
******IT DOESNT MATTER THE CHIPOS COULDNT WIN OVER MALAWI..
THE CHIPOS WHIPED THE ARSE OF THE GHANAIAN GROUP C BLACK STARS.
Looooool
No such thing as a “C” team; once a player dons national colors, they are the national team. Enough excuses; Ghana were creamed.
DAMN !!. DID U SAY CREAMED?? -Kekekekekekek!!
Jackson mwanza is useless how many times shall we complain. We want Rodgers kola and fwayo. Janza also has to go
donashano li fontini even ku nkana he plaqys ifyaubututu he was given a red card against power fyaubufontini
Janza’s plan will never be clear. In fact he is just not the right candidate for Zambia.To start with his selection is never convincing. Jimmy Ndlovu , Allan Mukuka, etc have long been tested and they proved not to be national team material. Kennedy Mwene played in all the games that Zambia played despite the fact that everyone knows what he can offer. One may ask why Danny Munyao is not featuring. Is he that useless that he can’t feature in games of the COSAFA magnitude. Wake up Zambia. Minnows are outgrowing you. First COSAFA loss to Namibia and then Malawi. These results are real and they will trickle down to the AFCON qualifiers.Kenya and Congo will still your scalp.
