Zambia and South Africa are in action at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola at a Four Nations Tourney.
While it’s a friendly match, pride is at stake and defeat for either Wedson Nyirenda or Stuart Baxter will be damaging to their credentials.
South Africa have named the experienced goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune and French based winger Keegan Dolly.
Justin Shonga will lead the attack while Enock Mwepu will be engine in central midfield for Zambia.
Zambia is unbeaten against South Africa in the last three fixtures having recorded two wins.
Shonga scored a brace against South Africa last year at the same venue as the Chipolopolo Boys booked a place at the Morocco 2018 CHAN tournament.

5′ Zambia 0-0 South Africa
Bafana Bafana with the first corner of the day. Though the visitors’ set piece drills are impressive they fail to threaten on target.
9′ Zambia 0-0 South Africa
Khune makes a point blank save from Justin Shonga after the Zambia striker was put through by Brian Mwila.
Shonga should have scored that one.
GOAL ALERT! Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Percy Tau reacts first to an Toaster Nsabata to give Bafana Bafana the lead. This is against the round of play.
thanks zamfoot for updates
22′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Zambian defence is stretched and Tau with only Nsabata to beat on a one v one fails to hit the target.
It could have been game over for Zambia..
25′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Shonga has managed to taste Khune from free kicks twice.
But on the end, Ziyo and company at the back have been jittery and it seems like every time Bafana attack, they look like scoring.
31′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
South Africa make a mistake and Brian Mwila unleashes a left footed shot.
Fans are calling for the withdraw of Rodrick and Mwila.
35′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Zambia attack with Augustine Mulenga spotting Solomon Sakala’s run but Khune comes out to make contact with the ball.
SUBSTITUTION: Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Lazarous Kambole [IN]
Brian Mwila [OUT]
why loosing, anyway it happens
YELLOW CARD: Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Salulani Phiri has been booked for Zambia.
Meanwhile Rodrick Kabwe forced a save off Khune for a corner.
HALF TIME: Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
It’s been end to end from both sides with Zambia enjoying more ball possession.
Zambian defence at times have been stretched .
46′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
A defensive mistake from a South African full back but Khune saves well from Fashion Sakala.
A minute Mwepu curls in a 25 yard shot over the bar.
51′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Ziyo Tembo connects well from an Augustine Mulenga cross but his header goes straight into the palms of Khune.
Ziyo should have done better. He was unmarked.
64′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Khune saves a Mwepu shot
SUBSTITUTION: Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Ernest Mbewe [IN]

The landlord has entered the fray.
Come on Zambia!
81′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Suddenly the tempo of the match has dropped.
SUBSTITUTION: Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Emmanuel Banda [IN]
Solomon Sakala [OUT]
Change of formation for Zambia
South Africa is pushing them back. Collective muscle.
84′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Keegan Dolly misses the target from close range. That could have been game over.
Is it possible to substitute more than 3 times? Is it because it’s a friendly?
Yes. Allowed 5 changes
Thanks
If you Rodrick Kabwe doing that with time gone, you cant score. I would rather have the one who is shooting at goal wildly.
89′ Zambia 0-1 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′)
Goal scorer Tau is being rested. Mothiba who scored against Angola is on.
Bad news, Zambia 0-2 South Africa
BOYD MUSONDA WAS THE CHARACTER OF THE U-20. BOO!
THE OTHERS WHERE INDIVIDUALS.
AND SAKALA THE DEFENDER.
AND MANGANI BANDA
GOAl ALERT!!! Zambia 0-2 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′, Lebo Mothiba 90′)
Substitute Mothiba beats Nsabata to score for Bafana. His second of the tournament.
Now typical Zambian Losers will be calling for FAZ president Kamanga to step down and be replaced by Kalusha Bwalya
FULL TIME: Zambia 0-2 South Africa (Percy Tau 15′, Lebo Mothiba 90′)
Where does Zambia go form here?
… from here?
No where! We have arrived.
We got here from the 3rd game in Morrocco.
I will say it again for as long as the clue less coach is still at the helm Chipolopolo is doomed.
Now typical Zambian Losers will be calling for FAZ president Kamanga to step down and be replaced by Kalusha Bwalya
Ladies and Gentlemen relax, this is what friendlies are all about assessing players. I would rather lose during a friendly than a serious game because that’s how you learn.Go Zambia GO!!!!!!!!!!!
A better team has won it, we just have to go back to the drawing board. I feel team selection is problematic, there’s need for inclusiveness as some players are still raw material for international delivery
Hey FAZ/Organisers, sure sure you can’t organise even a single firework for the winning Team?
