  1. ok great lineup that is we are playing possession on the front foot football attack after attacked ala barcelona,arsenal.if not then just like last game midfield is weak as we might get over run in there with just two in the centre.good luck my crazy country zambia

  2. 8′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Lubambo gets a chance to run at his defender and his effort goes out for a goal kick after some step-overs

  3. 11′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Impressive break after Kangwa stole the ball in the midfield and laid it off for speedy Lubambo. But his cross aimed Mayuka is punched away by the keeper.
    Lubambo should have squared the ball back to Kangwa with the first touch

  4. 15′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Mtonga loses the ball in a dangerous area but the final pass from Tunisia finds the attacker in an offside position as Zambia survives

  5. 17′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Beautiful through ball over the top of Munthali is only cleared by Mweene who had to use his chest outside the box to bring the situation under control

  6. 21′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    The left wing looking lively with some good one twos between Mbola and Kalaba but no effective cross yet from that end

  7. 26′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Another shot wide from the edge by Kalaba goes wide.
    Some good attack by Zambia on the left. Mayuka turned inside after a run instead of laying the ball for Kangwa and his lay-off for Singuluma is blocked

  8. 33′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Shot by Kalaba this time on target but the keeper punches the shor for a corner after some good work on the left by Kangwa

  9. 38′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Beautiful stuff from Zambia as Lubambo skins his man and crosses but the effort from Sunzu is tipped over the bar.
    Zambia creating chances

  10. 45′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Mayuka fails to convert again with just the keeper to beat. An even better chance. A golden opportunity goes begging

  11. Zambia can’t win if they are not utilizing their chances. We are not as polished and should take any given chances. Jacob Mulenga or Chris would have scored by now. Another reason to believe that a local coach for Zambia is plain disaster.

  12. Zambia has been the better team and have created more chances.
    Could have been a 3 – 0 score at half time but for the very poor finishing.
    Good effort Chipolopolo!

  13. A much better performance by Zambia. Mayuka missed a clear chance. It could have been 1 or 2 nil to Zambia. Mayuka should have scored at least 2 goals. But good performance by the guys. Half time.

  14. mayuka cant creat for others and cant score, i wonder why he stil remains our dependant striker, Mukuka should come in at half time.

  15. A zambia on the front foot a is great sight in world football.We just need to score. missed chances means punished later on. i hope we can score two even three. chances need to fall to musonda or evans. how good is mosonda..wow

  16. I can see some blogers here toning down what a bunch of hypocrites. Am just waiting for a goal to silence these doubters.

  17. Drc was the strongest team in the group. Tunisia is nothing. Mayuka has wasted a golden chance and even I am now fed up of this boy he should have scored. Mayuka is frustrating and is wasting our time we should have butchered this team by now

    • hahahhahahahhahahaa…….tunisia is nothing ….hahaahahhhhahhahah
      what about now… hahahahhaa…….
      north africa doing the same thing, same with algeria vs south africa

  18. Tunisians instructed to hurt Zambian players! C. Katongo and Fwayo would have scored! Now its time to bring on Sate.

  19. 23′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Again spaces are created in the final third for Zambia but the decision making between Mayuka and Kalaba is poor

  20. We should have butchered Tunisia by now these tunisians are average we are wasting time we must butcher them! Mayuka is the chief culprit. If we don’t beat this team we will regret.

    • People up there fire this f***, he is every useless he can’t ready the game. We where in control of the game, all we needed was change in the first half and it should ‘ve been a double change.

  21. 58′ Zambia 0 – 0 Tunisia
    Another penalty call as Mbola hesitates and the striker gets ahead of him as tried to kick the ball in the area

  22. No power to trouble Tunis keeper this is why you need a Bornwell Mwape to drill them home; too many light weights in team!

  23. 67′ Zambia 1 – 0 Tunisia
    Mayuka misses again.
    Kangwa’s through ball puts Kalaba through and the square ball from Kalaba is just too hard for Mayuka to make the simple tap-in

  24. Janza has to make a change the tempo has gone down. What is he doing just watching? This Tunisia is nothing we should have butchered them.

  25. 87′ Zambia 1 – 1 Tunisia
    Last ditch challenge by Nkausu saves the situation for Zambia and Kalaba breaks but he decides to find Lubambo who is late for what would have been a good chance

  26. I’ve stopped watching the game to save my heart! Mayuka is so rusty..all those misses show he hasnt had enough game time coming into this Afcon.

  27. Janza was just watching when the tempo was down. What’s his problem u don’t just watch you pack the midfield. Janza does not know how to close shop. He was just watching when he had to make changes.

  28. Janza was just looking when the tempo was dead the Tunisian coach had read the game and was busy making changes he was just watching looking aimlessly

  29. The referee blows his whistle for the final time. Tunisia snatch a victory from a game where they should not have had a prayer, based on the run of play. Zambia created chances by the truckload, but their incomprehensibly bad finishing was the killer. Mayuka’s goal just before the hour mark gave the Chipolopolo the lead, but late goals from Akaichi and Chikhaoui turned the game around. Tunisia top Group B on four points now, with Zambia bottom on just one.

  30. a dose of Ghana’s medicine. You were mocking us. see how painful it is? well my sympathy. Seem North Africans have it over u. Sorry

  31. This is real shame. We had many chances missed in the first half. This was the easiest team to beat in the group. Any way, lets hope for a draw between DRC and Cabo Verd.

    • Hoping against hope. Get to the Ghana site & pester them with your insults. He who lives on a glass house ……………
      Your Players who play in China, Indonesia, Yemen, Bavaria could not deliver. How could they? The young boys are now in training for the next Afcon.
      When did Zambia become a football nation? Only after the FLUKE 2012. Mumbi, inform paradox that as Ghana exits from AFCON tomorrow, Zambia is nowhere near the pedigree of Ghanas soccer. Learn to be humble. Humility is the hallmark of any person willing to ascend to greater heights in life

  32. Why Cant he shoot from There! says:

    21.01. 18:00 Equatorial Guinea 2 Burkina Faso 1
    21.01. 21:00 Gabon 1 Congo 3
    22.01. 18:00 Zambia 1 Tunisia 2
    22.01. 21:00 Cape Verde 2 D.R. Congo 2
    23.01. 18:00 Ghana 2 Algeria 0
    23.01. 21:00 South Africa 2 Senegal 1

      • There you are ……, ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER.
        U laughed at Ghana s loss. Why can’t they laugh at you? You have a one sided mouth. LEARN FROM THE GOOD OLD INTELLIGENT ROK. ROK is the mentor for all of AFRICA

    • I BELIEVE KATONGO COULD HAVE DONE SUMTHING TO THESE THREE BEAUIFUL CHANCES FOR THE CHIPOS..YES ,, KATONGO COULD HAVE HELPED THE CHIPOS , IF HE WAS PICKED..

  33. Janza is such an IDIOT! The players in midfield were clearly tired and change was necessary but this Idiot was clueless just watching his players gasping for air! I now believe this chap is very DULL!

  34. kekekke!!!! now they have seen how painful it is. we are all coming home together. Ghana is just rehearsing its tactics for afcon2017 whiles zambia wana win 2015 ebola cup. win it and lets see.. kekekkeke….

  35. Zambia played a much better game but lost due to fatigue and the coach’s lack of technical ability. With a weak midfield, how do u win a modern game? MAKE SUBS AS SOON AS U SEE THE MIDFIELD HAVING HEAVY LEGS.

  36. amafi yakwe janza.his friend was makin changes in order to create chances.if chikala chakwe was a good coach we would won these two games.especially today’s was the easiest that’s why Kalaba has to throw the armband after the game.I am with him.

  37. no doubt Evans is a better player than Sate, but Sate Sate was surely not going to miss thoz chances. For me Evans is a better player bt Sate Sate is a better striker and finisher
