4′ Kenya 0- 0 Zambia
Zambia has settled quickly
any link guys?
10′ Kenya 0- 0 Zambia
No shot on target either side
13′ Kenya 1- 0 Zambia
We hv BN concentrating on strikers when the weakness lies in central mid and defence.
After 13 minutes we allow in a goal, well it is football
any links
Any link!
I am following radio commentaries. I think our midfield is dead.
Too bad
As expected, so glad there is load shading kumwesu waunfwa. Zambia ma embarrasment lyonse
Kenya 1 Zambia 0, the system of using two holding mildfilders do not for zambia.
Where are watching the game from?
you
How is the line up like 4. Zambia
Kenya is targeting zambian right back ,Mbesuma will score the equaliser .
Is the game on znbc
This is scary, for me it is the goalkeeper who is scaring my heart off.
Mweene
Nchepeshi
Mkandawire
Sunzu
Katebe
Sinkala
Chisamba
Kalaba
Jack Chirwa
Kalengo
Mbesuma
4 untested players in Chepeshi, Mkandawire, Chirwa and Kalengo. Well maybe the coach knows what he is doing
20′ Kenya 1- 0 Zambia
Zambia pressing. But no shot on target
Testing
On SS9 I think. Not on ZNBC.
Zambians are panicing
we vindicated that our defence is weak and now its mountain to climb. wishng chipolopolo all the best!
Lol, Yaba 1-0 already!! Zambians we will never learn . Ati on paper it’s a game we will win lololo…..
Jack Chirwa and win stone Kalengo will save us don’t worry!!
Live on supersport 1
Kenya is dominating the midfield and are targeting Zambia’s right back . a what a miss by Zambia.
I think Jack Chirwa is no where in midfield.
23′ Kenya 1- 0 Zambia
Two chances for Zambia… Kalengo fails point as well as Chirwa.
3 good forward passes by Mbesuma have put Zambia in good attacking positions
Right and Left full backs are a problem. Lwandamina should have put tried and tested defenders. These two kids are struggling, Chepeshi and Mkandawire.
I have never seen a trial of two defenders in a crucial match unless a friendly. Especially away!!!
Equaliser, beautiful goal .
any links please
Kalengo makes it 1-1.
28′ Goooooaallllll!!!!
Kenya 1- 1 Zambia
Brilliant goal Kalengo from Mbesuma assist
zambia 1 kenya 1
I was almost cursing zesco for loadshedding my area at the time of the game, but going by the updates on Chipos performance I wud rather jst hear the results bcoz sinifuna kufa na TB or sorry BP. Thnk u Zesco
Okay, but how is our defence doing?
No Boyi Justice!!!! It is how is Mbesuma and Kalengo doing…. FANTASTIC, this why I believe in grown players, they play with heart not legs.
KALENGO mwaume
Kalengo scoles
Team too disjointed and organized and making the mistake of allowing Kenya to run at them!
Unorganized…..
Kenya scored a lucky goal from a goalkeeper mistake, other than that Kenya is no threat to the Zambians .
So Mweene made the mistake that resulted in Kenya scoring? Too bad
Yes Mweene is becoming a threat mwee, let him be substituted for Spiderman Banda, he is in form at Zesco.
Tha was not Mweene’s fault, but the central defence, particularly Katebe. He should have marked that Kenya striker.
Defender mistake forcing Mweene to cme out late, the defense shud have picked up the player and the coach hud have had a game plan for the fast running tall Kenyan attacker!
any link???
That’s positive but going by the updates am still worried of the defense of all the ried and tested defenders u go for two untested defenders!!!!!!!!
I am worried too about the right and left back, but now the keeper is a source of concern. Making mistakes that results in the opposition scoring are not good
Defender mistake forcing Mweene to cme out late!
Alex zz u have matured. thanks for the updates
go! zambia go! we are behind you, jack chirwa shud come out for mtonga.
Lesotho vs Algeria (1-1) lol yaka kana
Kalengo scores 1:1
I don’t see kenya beating Zambia ,the only mistake the Zambia defence is giving away cheap free kicks in dangerous areas ,other than that the Zambian keeper who by the way looks suspect has had nothing to do in this match.
Thanks for the info
Goal 2-1 Zambia. I knew Zambia will win. the goal from mbesuma.
goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!
Goooooaalalllllll
Mbesuma smashes one in a tight corner from Kalengo assist
Kenya 1- 2 Zambia
1-2, good for now
On course…..keep going boys!
Zambia 2, kenya 1
The Kenyans are getting frustrated but still Zambian is giving away cheap free kicks.
Kalengo – Mweene partnership should be developed further.
sorry Kalengo – Mbesuma
Good cmbination from kalengo and mbesuma, but mtonga shud com in to strethen oyr defence.
has the ref added 3 minutes
half time: 2-1 Zambia in the lead.
@ Neautral
How that partnership of Kalengo-Mwenee?
Kenya 1- 2 Zambia HT
Zambia the better side in the half with Mbesuma starring.
One assist, and a goal for the burly striker
Museuma still got game in his legs…wonder why he’s been sidelined for so long.
Dear bloggers this is football and those of us regardless of the outcome who cursed the Coach, rubished the recalling of old legs at the same time opposing new legs must learn something. For now and regardless of the outcome let’s viva Zambia and we can only get better. Shalom
goal! Mbesuma!
Have never heard of or see Zambia coming from behind as today!
Welcome back king David
It’s great here guys
Mtonga shud come in for jack chirwa.
Zambia’s weakest links are Nchepeshi and Chilwa
anyone with a working link to the game?
Lubambo Musonda for Jack Chirwa in 60th minute. If it remains 2-1 by 75 minutes Kalengo out for Mtonga so that we defend more and attack less.
I just hope Kenya opens up by withdrawing a defender. They will still hv problems coz we are using two strikers.
They thought we will go for 4-5-1.
Mtonga has failed us for too long ,let Jack Chirwa get much needed game time
@Luapula, never EVER say such on Mtonga, probably is the best mid-fielder in Africa, has been side-lined in years, he is great player. Another humble but great player is Buchiza Mfune (not even on bench today). I watched him 2 years ago, I thought he was a foreigner that’s why he never play in national team or play out of country.
Buchizya Mfune has been around for a while and was part of Peter Kaumba’s Chingalika (Kitwe UNited) in which Mfune had a terrific midfield partnership with Trinity Chalanshi, Kennedy Mweene in goals, with CHISALA “Njonginjo” Mwandama and. Joseph Bwalya upfront and Bronson Chama. In defeNce
They should introduce malama and kondwani..
Strongest links Mbesuma and Kalengo
Mbesuma is playing good. Our defense have settled now,poor defending and ball watching costed us a goal
We need Lubambo Musonda now
The combination of Kalengo and Mbesuma is working well and is a good one to watch. My only worry is the defence, its very unsettled. Those two little boys Chepeshi and Mkandawire are suspect. We could have been 3 -1 up if that Chirwa guy had scored that sitter with the keeper to beat. We were crying about the front line. But now its doing well. The department, defence, which we never worried is one that is suspect. We need a big man like Donashano at right back. Maybe it will help. Or Muntali should come in central defence and Katebe can move to right back. Just saying. Otherwise, I am so impressed with Mbesuma and Kalengo.
We need to substitute jack n bring in mtonga
we need to work on our defence now and abit of cohesion in the mildfield. this can be our game.
Chisamba should b a bite serious we want to need this game
We have won this game.
How is the second half so fa
49′ Kenya 1- 2 Zambia
One thing I like about Mbesuma other than his tact on the field of play is his patriotism….he jumps wen called up for national duty.
Kenya almost finds the equaliser with the goalkeeper no where to be for found, goal line clearance.
50′ Kenya 1- 2 Zambia
Cleared off the line by Chisamba as Zambia are under pressure from set pieces
What is our goalie thinking?
It is Mweene, you never know. But a great leader though
We should put the ball down, the Kenyas are tall
Our Defence is suspicious,adjustments pliz ba coach. Munthali pa central so Katebe can cover the right back.Mweene s bit jittery too!
Mweene biggest suspect he’s lost
60 min gone
Time wasting so early for the Zambian players lol.
Someone tell chicken to do something about that defence b4 it’s too late
65′ Kenya 1- 2 Zambia
Zambia has dropped the tempo in the second half
Kenya playing more
we are loosing the ball in midfield chirwa is no where mtonga shud come in.
Can someone tell Chicken to make subs qe are approaching 70minutes.
Why defend now?
Kalengo should come out
73 mins
Kenya are pushing for an equalizer. Zambia sitting on the lead and using sporadic counter attacks.
I think we need another goal rather than sitting on this lead.
Allan wanga n Dennis oliech off
We shouldn’t defend continuously we made a wrong tact if that what we told the players at half time.
We should not defend deep. Delay tactics by Zambia
Zambian players are annoying the crowd with their childish displays, everybody can see they are time wasting.
74′ Kenya 1- 2 Zambia
Match suspended as fans throw missiles
Zambia to blame, why delaying tactics, that silly thing to do. Just pack all team with midfielders and defenders. Not delay, bad manners. If I was referee I could rush-out with red cards.
The Zambian keeper is too hyper and making silly errors.
77 minutes played but the will be a lot of added time because our players have been wasting time.
Kabwe Warriors man Sakala in for who?
Sakala in for Mkandawire
Mtonga in for Kalengo.
Too much pressure.
Why did we decide to defend in second half?
And the Sudanese ref is a fool.
Go Zambia go
How many mins left?
The eeeeeeeeend!
kenya 1-2 ZAMBIA
Final score 2-1 to Zambia. Risky strategy from Zambia in the second half,the Kenya keeper was just a spectator in this half.
@alex you are right. I think we should hv gone the kill in second half coz Kenya were opening up.
They wouldn’t hv managed to contain us.
Full time.
Plz plz boyz can u plz make another big sheet! so we win u knw pull the triger !!!!! uh!!!
Postmortem of the game. I noticed one serious weakness in the Zambian game.Zambia did not end the game well and that was dangerous. The technical bench must look into that area. Even though it can rightfully be done that way it does not have to commence so early. Otherwise , there is not much to say for now except to congratulate ba George and entire contingent for the win.
We have won the game but I am not happy. Even if this is winning it ugly but it’s too muc. On the other end, the coach got it wrong on the full backs. Those two young lads, Chepeshi and Mkandawire are suspect and are too tiny for big opponets. Lwandamina should bring back Kabaso at right back. The central defence of Katebe and Sunzu was also error prone. Katebe should go to left full back. Let Munthali partner Sinzu, and Kabaso or Donashano ku right back. Midfielder also “died” in second half. Big up to Mbesuma. I think he was my man of the match from the Zambian squad.
You keep bring up Kabaso, there was no Kabaso in Kenya today.
Anyway, win is a win, the 3 young players has done it.
And big up to Kalaba the captain.
What I meant was that moving forward, we need players like Kabaso Chongo. I am aware that Kabaso was dropped. Are you happy with the way our defence was unsettled? Thank Heavens we were playing a not so good Kenyan side. If were playing against a more formidable opposition, Zambia would’ve been massacred. Don’t you understand english iwee?
For me like ba Justice will agree I am happy that finally we’ve learnt thhe art of playing it ugly that by not doing as cost us not going to the World cup and winning Afcon more than once. If you look at our 1982 Afcon squad. With due respect to Ghana, had Libya not played ugly injuring our unbeatable Keeper Ghost Mulenga in the semi final, that cup had Zambia written all over it and the squad had extremely serious talent (Ghost Mulenga, Milton Muke, John “Libya” Kalusa, Emmy Musonda, Michael Musonda, Willie Phiri, Patrick Phiri, Jericho Shinde, Alex Chola, Godfrey Munshya, Peter KaumBa-this team had everything Tiki Taka, Dribblers, Scorers, Midfield dynamos, No-nonsense defenders etc) but for humanism beliefs of being goodie Goodies! More reason Arabs take advantage and akways eliminate us as they come to play dirty here and bury us away. I was happy seeing Zamia doing it in style
A win is a win, Zambia did not play good football in the 2nd half
Missed the game yaba!
But congratulations to the team! Well done for winning away.
3pts n chapter closed!
Good game
Well done to the boys.
@Paradox, good observation on Alex! Good metamorphosis Alex! Good job!
Mweene mukali.very experienced goal keeper.
Ukusefya ………. But we should never defend against a second best team! Let this guy go foe 2 weeks practicals at Man City. Chicken I mean.
Mission accomplished. We’ve made up for that draw against GB. The real battle will be in Congo. A good morale booster for a friendly against Gabon on Tuesday.
Why are zambian players so small? What happened to big players that we used to have, the likes of tana,litana,malitoli brothers.is it because of the food we are eating or climate change?
zamfoot. player rater please
Congratulations Zambia!
Lwandamina was the biggest suspect in that match he failed to lead the game also chisamba was not at his best today he was suppose to be substituted in 60min for Lubambo,kalengo in 70th min for Jackson.Mtonga should have started the game in midfield ahead of that school boy, not what the coach resulted to do after pressure.they say the best way to defend is to attack and that’s what we did in the first half.second half was a different story we allowed Kenya to play putting our defense in panic every time they attacked.for now the coach should try to cement his defense otherwise we are going no where.anyway hard luck ba zed for making us proud away from home.
@Paradox, good observation on Alex. @Alex, good metamorphosis my man! Keep it up!
Ugly win. But serves the need. Wanyama was some hefty buffalo in that midfield. Mbesuma did well to take responsibility and duel with him.
too much corruption n zambian footbo.plz use beta players rather than these zesco children.muletuchusha.
Congrats guyz this is what i told u saying be normal as u be plyn an away game. Bcoz yo response to my advice was applied in the 1st half just after their goal u played as if u were at home and that mentality paid off by making u winning the entire game using the same half. Even though u did the opposite in the 2nd half it helped u realise the saying that: The 1st cut is the DEEPEST.
We should also go back to our afcon winning Jessy not that kamwala material we used today.Nigeria is now using almost the same Jessy as ours.some teams shiver just to see our boys in that Jessy, a game is not only won on the pitch Naka mind game kalafwaika.
Congratulation but I am disappointed with a poor show in the 2nd half. Lets emulate Ghana and Nigeria who show no mercy to minors. Lets hammer them 6-0 in Lusaka.
@CRESPO, I second your motion on the jersey issue. We need the green one with three stripes. The one they used today reminds me of the ones we used to use when we were playing ifimpombwa, Chikanda, tennis balls, and Wembley balls in Kitwe. Our jerseys were made out of mutton cloth (spanki) from the mines! We then colored them with water colours. Bad jersey!
Nedcoz (National Education Company Of Zambia) muma 80s had such jerseys in Mansa where father wirked ninshi apo RB oversaw RUCOM operations
Uncle Bobs, you are right. The jersey resembles NEDCOZ company ones!
