Shepolopolo Beat Brave Costa Rica In U-17 World Cup Exit Match
The Zambian U17 Women’s National Team bowed out of the Costa Rica World Cup in style as they silenced the hosts in front of a partisan crowd when they bravely came from behind to beat Costa Rica 2 – 1 in San Jose.
Looking for their first goal of the tournament the young Zambian had their waste possible start when they went down in the 3rd minute after Gloriana Villalobos provided some excellent service for Sofia Valera to score.
Grace Chanda will go down in the history books as the first Zambian lady to at a FIFA when she levelled matters five minutes later.
Zambia later benefited from an own goal in the 69th minute.
It was a great defensive display by the Zambian lasses in the last quarter of the game as host buoyed the home fans poured loads of pressure on the Zambians but the defensive line marshaled by Martha Tembo and Mary Wilombe stood strong.
Injury time substitute almost snicked in a goal with her first touch when her well taken volley in the box cannoned of the bar.
The young Chipolopolo girls are expected back in the country on Tuesday.

But why of all things can you think of that?Most of these girls are still schooling.Why should we even think of them in a sexual context.

Iwe Mailon which world do you live in? Those school going girls in your neighbourhood know more sex than you do, and getting them involved in such activities as Shepolopolo is a way of keeping them out of the bad ways of life. So, yes we should keep impressing on the young girls to CLOSE THEIR LEGS if they want to have a bright future.

@Stev:Chipolopolo is a gun or bullet. There is no female or male gun/bullet. Ask those who were there during the liberation struggle of Southern African countries when Zambia was a member of the defunct Frontline States. They will tell you where the word “Chipolopolo” comes from. Chipolopolo is not a Namwanga word, where such things like “chi” is male and “she” is female or Si(kazwe)is male and Na(kazwe)is female.

@West Gate: I was just trying to deliver a point. Do not misjudge my contribution. I love all tribes and all people just like I love myself. Remember: Love thy neighbour as you love yourself. I had no other better way of giving an example. If you have taken my comment to be tribal, I sincerely apologise. I never meant it that way.
