Southern Africa rivals are in action in a Group D opening match at the Rwanda 2016 CHAN tournament.
Zambia coach George Lwandamina has named a strong side as he goes head to head with Zimbabwe’s Calisto Pasuwa at Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu.
Nine players in the starting in the starting line up are from Green Bufaloes (5) and Zesco United (4) with only two from Zanaco.
Later on Mali face Uganda.
Zambia XI: Jacob Banda – Dauti Musekwa, Buchizya Mfune, Adrian Chama, Stephen Kabamba – Jack Chirwa, Salulani Phiri, Isaac Chansa- Mwape Mwelwa, Clatus Chama, Chris Katongo
We can’t have an entire starting 11 coming from only two teams; This is a scandal and it must be investigated!
Thats what you expect from local coaches…..dunderheads! He’s only picked players from clubs he’s coached before. 5-5-0 formation; 5 defenders,5 midfielders, no strikers…clueless!
What criteria was picked to engage that wrestler looking coach called Irfan Kawri who has now abandoned the team????
we are going 2 win.

Zim 44
45′ Zambia 0 – 0 Zimbabwe
Dauti again caught napping and dispossesed in the box. Lucky enuf the winger shoots wide with only the keeper to beat. Very close!
dauti Musekwa nearly cost a goal
Zimbos have just missed a sure goal. This Musekwa thing is a suspect.Interesting match so far. Halftime. This Fransisco guy is deadly. Zambia must watch him.
0 -0 Half time
Jacob Banda has had a good game in goal. Saved Zambia with Zimbabwe’s close chance early and was quick off the line when Dauti messed up
To be honest the football being displayed here by Zambia is very poor by our standard ba zamfoot pls report and tell those who are not watching that this Zambian team is so avarege
Our team isn’t going anywhere. Useless..
Backline – Solid backline; Dauti Musekwa weakest link as he is being tormented by the Zim left winger
Base midfield – Isaac, Chirwa, Salulani doing a lot of running but no end ball yet.
salulani too lethargic and doubt is our weakest link just like his name empresses
Attack – Clearly short in numbers. Chris having a good game. Nothing to show for from Cletous Chama
These midfielders are just running like headless chickens no creativity useless these chaps mapulanga sana
I don’t know what coaches have seen in this boy called chirwa umwaiche likula
Second half on
46′ Zambia 0 – 0 Zimbabwe
Zambia clear off the line after Kabamba and Jacob are beaten
49′ Zambia 0 – 0 Zimbabwe
Kabamba does well to break down a Zim attack. Zim start well
51’Zambia 0 – 0 Zimbabwe
Kabamba overlaps and wins a corner. Zim defend well.
we are only strong in the mid but very weak in defence & front..no strikers as usual. we have only had one chance to develop a striker in recent times, in the name of Mayuka. And since striker take the partern of Harry’s Comet in Zambia, we probably expect another one to emerge after a decade.
54′ Zambia 0 – 0 Zimbabwe
Salulani weaves his way into a shooting positions but his shot is tame
54′ Zambia 0-0 Zimbabwe,, 9yc play by S. phiri who fires a low short.

Zambia 1 – 0 Zimbabwe
Isaac Chansa
Goal isaac Chansa,, an acrobatic kick
Isaac pounced on a free kick at the back post to blast home in the 58th minute.
Luchanga now in for Chansa
its Sautu who scored.. and good sub for zambia: Luchanga in for Chansa. it means more attacking.
62′ Zambia 1 – 0 Zimbabwe
Chris gets on the end of a Kabamba cross but the keeper saves well
That’s what happens, no strikers to score

68′ Zambia 1 – 0 Zimbabwe Chris again come close from a corner. Good work to find himself in that position. Salulani earlier had a shot deflected for the corner
71′ Zambia 1 – 0 Zimbabwe
Zim come close with some quick movement off a set piece but they shoot wide
We need to extend the lead to be safe. I hate 1-0 leads as anything can happen within a split of a second.
75′ Zambia 1 – 0 Zimbabwe
Ambitious long range effort from Chirwa but is way off target
Thus Musukwa guy is a weak link
