A cagey contest in Casablanca ended goalless as Zambia and Comoros shared the points, with Chipolopolo moving to 2 points in Group A of AFCON 2025.

After 13 consecutive AFCON matches producing goals, Zambia were involved in the tournament’s first stalemate, a result that also stretches the nation’s AFCON winless run to 12 matches.

Comoros thought they had broken the deadlock in the second half, but celebrations were cut short when the effort was disallowed following a VAR review.
