Half Time:
A draw for chipolopolo will be a fair result but football is played in 90 + minutes,we shall wait and see.
On another note,Jacob Mulenga scored twice for his team Shijiazhuang in a two all draw against Asamoah Gyan’s Shanghai SIPG in the Chinese premier league. Shanghai SIPG scored first in the 6th minute before Jacob equalised for his team in the 9th minute from a Rondon assist. Shanghai SIPG took the lead again in the 45th minute just before half time.Jacob was on target again late in the second half in the 83rd minute to help his team to a 2-2 draw.
go mozambique go im behind you i want zambians to proof that lwandamina is a useless coach.
Zambians don’t need any proof on Lwandamina. Go and stay in Mozambique if you want. Traitor
Updates please
lwandamina is a pathetic coach he cant even beat teams like mozambique. mark my words in red.
We all know we need a proper coach but for now we have to do with what we got. Supporting opponents doesn’t help Zambia.
Is scoring 2 goals aganist the said Mozambique not a way to beat the Mambas (mark our words in double RED
mozambique wil stil come buck it wil be 1-1 you wil see after 90 minutes.
@Abram you sound bored watching Zambia why not go do something else then
Zambia 2 – 0 Mozambique
Zambia leads 2 – 0. Winstone kalengo made it Zambia 1 Mozambique nil ; 78th min goal then Luchanga added second one yes the Lusaka Dynamos youngster replaced festus Mbewe
Looks like Kalengo is the footballer of the year 2015!
2-2 it wil be the final results. go! mozambique go!
What has Lwandamina done to you kanshi iwe? Chicken is and will remain the coach whether you like it or not.
Abram uli kwisa!
Let go zambia 2 moz 0
go! mozambique go!
Childish!
Go zambia Go
Is this the Luchanga you said is debuting. Is n’t he a marvel to watch? To score in your debut is the greatest omen one can ever get. You have a bright future Luchanga.
it wil be 3-3 mozmbique will stîl come back go! mozambique go!
Zambia 3 – 0 Mozambique FT
Final score Zambia 3 mozambique
0
lwandimina is a pathetic coach!
Your attitude is even more pathetic
Who scored the third goal?
Spencer Sautu. OK – Good result. The boys have proved me wrong. Big up to them. Well done.
How many goals has festus Mbewe scored in the first half? Lwandamina should stop experiments. Festus Mbewe is not a striker
even if u hav beaten mozambique but u cant beat sudan.
Spencer Sautu scored the last goal.
The anointing one.
Abraham………what has gone to your head. Do you have to be that petty. Come on my man I know you can calm down. Take it easy.
Am not celebrating this victory because it was expected..I watched this Luchanga boy closely and no doubt,he is national team materiial..All he needed was just 10 mins to record his first inter goal..my praise for Luchanga was not in vain..congrats guys,,.

Well done boys. A good score margin and a clean sheet makes a good foundation to build on.
@ Justice Kafusha. Do you remember my suggestions regarding Conlyde Luchanga?
Who was that in jersey 11 .muntali showed good experience but jersey 18 was a passenger .dauti musekwa was good.winston gained control after luchanga the boy who beston chambeshi hates most.
the youngsters need a lot of exposure to gain much need character. Spencer Sautu is a wonder boy luchanga too he’s so confident. hope FAZ has some good friendly games for this team. let’s pray Zimbabwe, Angola n Morocco. this will help a lot. congrates to the lads.
still not impresed. chicken has to go. we need to start playing football were we are quick to attack and not passing the ball around. i only saw that late in the second half. we need to start beating the big teams. we failed against gabon and egypt.
Our boys well done and Shalom
Congrats boys!!thanx for the victory. Festus Mbewe is not a nationl team material..
Conlyde Luchanga is the Boy well done on your derbu match.
That was a good goal by sautu. Lwandamina drop festus and chpeshi. Try Jr from green eagles and mulawo.
Congrats Chipolopolo. Iam impressed by the youngsters Charles Zulu, Spencer Sautu and Conrad Luchanga. Dauti Musekwa brought stability in defence. He reminds me of Mordon Malitoli. Our midfield was weak. George Lwandamina should consider calling defensive midfielder Misheck Chaila for the return match and should consider Cletus Chama in other future games.
Gud show zambia, but we need 2 do more in da next game. Mudenda nd chepeshi had a bad game i think we hav alot of gud players out there moses phiri, walter bwalya, larry etc
All the 3 subs I predicted would make a difference came on and never disapointed. I love the Sautu boy. He brought life to the game. Creating one and scoring one. I predicted Luchanga would score on his debut. Playing two difensive midfielders is good to avoid conceding but takes away creativity in midfield. Sautu is the real box to box midfielder we need. The lad can drop deep, create goals and score. Let’s nurture the lad. He is the Isaac Chansa we’ve been missing.
@Sly you said it, Conlyde Luchanga is the revelation, together with Spencer Sautu
I watched the game so closely & i noted that ba chicken failed 2 read the game, for mozambique had one intetion & it oz a draw they were packed mu mid & the balls were passing to our right back.not until two subz were made did creativity was seen in both our wings.alot has to be done
Congrats to the young stars. @Photon good analysis. When we go to Maputo we just need to relax and play our passing game. No panicking.
