Mali beat Zambia in a friendly match on Friday night in Bamako as the Chipolopolo Boys’ woes deepened.

El Bilal Toure scored the winner in the first half.

With head coach Aljosa Asanovic still involved in a stand off with the Football Association of Zambia, FAZ, assistant coach Moses Sichone took over the mantle in the West Africa.

In addition to Asanovic being awol, Sichone also had to do without the services of England based duo Patson Daka and Enock Mwepu.

In goal, Power Dynamos shot stopper Lawrence Mulenga got the nod ahead of Charles Kalumba. Toaster Nsabata was only fit for the bench.

  1. How come to they did not invite either Albert Kangandwa or try out Chanka Zimba . It could have helped the senior and U23 teams with assessment.

  2. The team was and is still OK remember that some of the European based players were not and will not be available. So for me I they will improve st home, let us just encourage the team to do more at home soil no sick comments remember if it were you you you your self in the pitch!! Stop demoralizing them they need your support only can do better.
