Half Time!

Hi Guys. So far its been a 50%-50% affair for both teams. Zambia started off on top and then the last part of the 1st Half RSA was on top.
Zambia hit the Upright of the post from a short by L.Musonda. RSA also had 1 or 2 chances. Though official stats are RSA 57% and Zambia 43%.
Zambia 6 Shots and 1 on Target
RSA 5 Shots and 2 on Target

Half Time Summary

Zambia came closest through Lubambo Musonda with his effort coming off the upright.

SA looked dangerous attacking with Percy Tau through Zambia’s left channel. A good test for Chilongoshi but they have managed him so far

Zambia has dominated possession, the midfield looking sharp and the strikers finding spaces to run into. Sikombe has been picked a number of times but he needs to be more aggressive when he arrives in the box.

Lubambo Musonda doing a good job on the right in attack, while the skipper has done well to drop and help out in defense while still remaining effective going forward

Full Time

The best I have seen Chipolopolo play defensively. We almost always seem all over the place when defending but in this game there was a measure of control and calm. Well done Micho for bringing that stability. I can imagine if we had a sharper striker like Daka and more control in the middle of the park with Mwepu and the guile of triple C in the number 10 role….

Zambian legue is live and strong for me.we managed to score goals with Zambian local team.we need to support coach Micho.is asking alot from his plays.weldone Chipolopolo

The confidence from our boys on the ball was inspiring. Coach Micho did a great job in this game. His subs were spot on too. I’d like to see the team attacking more from wide areas.

Well done Chipolopolo, good job Micho

Well done Chipolopolo, good job Micho

Great job guys,micho well done

Well done the chipolopolo boys.

There is always a start point. Go Zambia Go Mucho.

Well done chipolopolo boys. Bravo and kudos to coach Micho

Wow what a wonderful start for coach micho and chipolopolo congrats and we hope for more to come…… go zambia go 🔥🙋‍♂️👊👊

Well done Chipolopolo. However, Zambia would have scored more goals if only Fashion was not selfish.

Well done Chipolopolo. However, Zambia would have scored more goals if only Fashion was not selfish. He must be mentored by coach Micho if we are to win AFCON qualifiers

Congrats!
But where was Edward Cilufya? Not even on the bench…

Congratulations!!! Good energy levels and fighting spirit! I think we are going places with new coach.
All the best!!
