Keeper messed up he came forward to early…. whats really going on!? Zambia looks so unsettled! Let me say just foolish mistake by keeper and got punished for a 3rd goal.
Hence the need for such hard bitter lessons…
I totally agree with you its a total lesson, you cant believe its Zambia, poor passing, defence is in total shumbles, keeper at many times lefts alone to fend for himself! Its called complacency in English! I dont know in French, Italian and Spanish! Ha

I think this result is good in that, it will help bring us down to earth and refocus. It’s better to suffer this loss now that at the World Cup…On a slightly different note, is this green jersey the only one we have? The lads have not won any other color for a while now….FAZ iyanganepo
I wont be surprised if it wont be 6 – 1 at 90′ ha ha ha h Zambia looks soooo vulnerable!
80′ Korea Rep. 4 – 1 Zambia
A terrible collision in the Korean box sees the match stopped as the Korean defender looked to be in a desperate situation
Zambian medics are on hand to help
The player had a bad fall after an aerial tussle with Kalunga
Indeed a loss is important to work on the departments that are not up to the mark. Timelag should also be taken into consideration in that camping for the team should be in that region as we prepare for world cup
Besides, Korea is playing at home so this result should not be too surprising
Nope! Thats not a logical thinking, Logic, you cant justify such a loss, teams lose games even at home.
You are not thinking logically but simply being emotional. Just because Zambia beat a few teams no you all of a sudden think we can beat the whole world. Come down to earth and just swallow that humble pie. The team has work to do and I’m glad Korea exposed us at this stage. Now if that doesn’t work for you and you expect this team to beat everybody, then, by all means knock yourself out. Ukusabailafye lyonse
match now resumes
That sakulanda guy misses a lot of chances in a game and his shots are very weak.It is a lesson to the boys that things are different at this stage.
87′ Korea Rep. 4 – 1 Zambia

90′ Korea Rep. 4 – 1 Zambia
Happy Nsofwa does well to win a free kick
Game still on due to the long stoppage
Korea Rep. 4 – 1 Zambia
4-1 not bad at this stage.
it has always been suspected that the weakest department in this team is the defence and the Koreans have just exposed confirmed it.The defence needs some reinforcement.We can still do that b4 the start of the tournament.It is a good lesson which has come at the right time when we still have more days to make the necessary changes.
yaba, batusepa, nice one. at least this is a friendly. where did we go wrong?
anyway we v even tried,keep itup up guyz,rmeber we stil v hope 2 win worldcup.
When I told u Beston was a useless coach and was riding off good strikers like Patson and home ground advantage…….when I told u Beston has no plan B. ….He can’t try something different when it’s not working….u monkeys turned against me telling me I don’t know what am talking about….now u will see how useless Beston is…..at that level u need more than just good players….u need a coach with a brain……within 20 mins Korea figured out our tactics….changed there game plan. …and the goals rolled in….This will be repeated at the world cup
Yeah you have a point on this one, even when he saw that the defence is in shambles he never re-adjusted his boys. Imagine the African Champions going down in this manner and thes Koreans are same height as our boys so you can play the height card, neither use the crowd as an excuse it was almost empty. We were just exposed. Period.
You its norma to losel iwe mambala iwe thus how game is what type of fan a u u a wors usless,all the commentrs ar real fans not u a fan frm nakambala leopard
Cam Wada take the boys to the world cup….Best on is clueless. …..He can only fight juju soccer….not soccer for thinking
Beston out!!!!!! How do we allow the Afcon champions to be humiliated like that…by a karaoke Chinese team
Too bad
what a match
A monkey is telling other people ati “monkeys!”
This is the wake up call for Zambia.
