Half Time Summary
Zambia looked to comfortable, dominated play and hardly troubled by the Warriors. Zambia had 59% of the possession, seven shots at goal and amazingly none on target. They have created chances and should have been at least two goals up.
Moses Phiri head over the bar from inside the goalmouth from a corner, Adrian Chama had a free header in the box which he sent wide, Chilongoshi curled in a good cross from the left which Chabula planted way off target when he could have easily guided it into the net.
Generally all the players have accounted for themselves well but Moses Phiri, Chabula and Kelvin Kampamba will need to up their game in the second half.
Namibia are threaten to some extent with 5 shots but none of those have trouble Allan Chibwe

Zambia through to the quarter finals and they will play Morocco
chindika popeye… true. moroocco put 5 past uganda. you’ve got to be serious and technical and quick on the ball
Zambia they have a poor tactician. He lacks consistance in team selection and the way he applies his tactics .notable error today he played Paul katema as a winger. I wonder why he deployed in an unfamiliar role. He wanted to accommodate Moses phiri maybe. The boys played like ammatures upfront. They were instructed to shoot at goal that’s why they lacked accuracy . The midfield lacked creativity and strikers did not get real scoring opportunities. Their is no play maker and the lacks leadership. Lastly the coach is very corrupt he some of these players for marketing purpose. If you appoint a blind coach will never pick Friday samu. Emmanuel mayuka could have done better. We are down and out with this carton character coach. The boys should start packing now unless something miraculous is going to happen. I wish them good luck in their next assignment

I totally agree this marks the end and scouts can’t pick any player from this below average performance from this team.
Which foreign scout would pick a player from this Zambian team. Unless he is as blind as a bat. The country is paying the price for allowing sub standard foreign players flood our league and thereby shutting out our juniors with potential.
The game could be described in one word “UGLY”.
