The Zambia U15 Boys National Team will lock horns with their Moroccan counterparts in the early hours of Tuesday to complete their two match friendly series.
Assistant Coach Owen Kaposa has declared the team ready for the second match.
Kaposa believes they learned lessons from the first match and have been working on the mistakes. He is confident of a better result.
The two teams played to a 3-3 draw two days ago in the first of two friendly matches.
Vincent Chinoya opened the scoring in the 15th minute. Temwani Simfukwe added a second in the 21st minute. Morocco pulled one back in the 42nd minute thanks to Kaaouch Nabil.
Zambia restored their lead 12 minutes into the second half through Nthasilwe Mapulanga.
Morocco came back with two late goals from Bennane Ilyas and Saidi Assil to make sure the match ended in a draw.
The second match will take place tonight at 22h00 GMT (24hrs Zambian time) at the Mohammed VI Complex.
These boys need exposure to serious & better qualified coaches for the sake of their development.
Grass root talent indentification is just as good as the developmental stages that follow…
If we mess it up at this stage then those boys are doomed to try and fend for themselves based on their own exposure and available links.
Hope this very group and some other players can be maintained for the COSAFA games. Assuming that tournament still exists.
