Copper Queens coach Nora Häuptle has described Friday’s 2-2 draw against Morocco as entertaining.
Zambia gave away the lead twice to share spoils in the opening match of the WAFCON 2024.
“It was a vibrant game, very entertaining, and honestly, we expected nothing less from two good sides,” Häuptle said
“I want to congratulate Morocco on a strong performance and a great atmosphere in the stadium. We enjoyed it very much.
“We had a very strong start and went ahead early, and for over an hour, we were in control of the game.
The two sides went head to head with the likes of Lushomo Mweemba and Mapalo Maluba impressing in central defence.
“Our players were disciplined, determined and executed the game plan very well,”
“We had enough chances to be 3-1 or even 4-1 up. That’s how well we played in moments. But Morocco made changes.
“They brought on technically gifted players, and they started to grow into the game in the last 20 minutes. That pushed us into a deep block.”
Zambia will be back in action Wednesday against the high flying Senegal.
