Zambia Crash In Saudi Arabia
African champions Zambia crashed 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in Dammam in a friendly on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s match was part of Zambia’s build-up to the defence of the continental crown they won in Libreville, Gabon, in February.
Zambia’s lone strike came in the 71st minute through Nkana striker Evans Kangwa.
The goal was Kangwa’s first for Zambia since November 26, 2011 after scoring on his senior debut away in India in a 4-1 win against Goa Select.
Meanwhile, coach Herve Renard took a side comprising of 16 home-based players and four based abroad for the friendly that did not include Christopher Katongo, Rainford Kalaba and goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene.
Zambia have also lined up warm-up games against Tanzania, Morocco and Norway ahead of the Nations Cup in South Africa.
They are drawn in Group C with Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.

The word ‘crash’ in the subject is alarming. Next time use better words.

what is important is to get the positives from the match. at the end of the day, the french man should be able to make a team to compete at the Afcon.

@Verb, you are very right. The word crash in the title is not only alarming, but a curse. Why should a normal person use certain words as metaphor when “crash” is so closely related to the means of transport our boys used? This is lack of vocabulary. Muleke ba tumfweko, ****** idiotn ****** *****.

loosing friendly games is the best that can i happen to any team.Its a catalyst for hardwork and better preparation.No relaxing but working extra harder.I would love we play morroco if all the arranged friendly games fail through.Loosing can ensure that we seal all the weaknesses before the cup finals.

what a ****** and ambiguous headline. ba tumfweko, just what is the problem with your editors? have you guys been to school for journalism? you sound like grade 7 drop outs.
How can someone write that heading and it even goes past the editor? Shame on you.
“ZAMBIA CRASH IN SOUDI ARABIA” Wat does this mean to you?

Imwe fi Tumweko you should know how to wite headlines. The word “Crash” when you write about football brings back the sad memories of the Gabon disaster to our minds. You almost gave me a heart attack. I can even sue you!
