Chipolopolo coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has said despite his team drawing 1 – 1 with Guinea, he was was gunning for a win against the tough West African opponents and he described the encounter as a clash of the titans.
Speaking after seeing his team rescue a point with a late equalizer from Spencer Sautu, Micho indicated that he was glad that his team created more scoring chances in the game as compared to the game against Tanzania.
We wanted to win but managed a draw against a strong Guinea team. I am happy that we created more scoring chances today than we did in our first game against Tanzania and the small details basically decided the match. It has been a clash of titans. – Micho
Guinea coach Mohamed Kanfory Bangoura said he was satisfied with the draw. He said his strategy was to dominate play and his team achieved that.
We got into the game with the strategy of dominating possession, but Zambia played well. I am satisfied with the draw because it places us in a good position going into the last group game against Tanzania.
Zambia go into the final game against Namibia on Wednesday needing a result to assure qualification though they could also qualify with other results going their way.
Great game of football well played Zambia but very wasteful in front of goal by our strikers..Micho needs to work on burying of chances..
