U20 Disappoint In AFCON CAF Championship Opener

The Zambia U20 national team started off on a poor note in the Senegal 2015 Africa Youth Championship after they went down 1 – 0 to Mali.

Zambia conceded in the 74th minute from a free kick on the edge of the area which beat goalkeeper Mangani Banda.

It was a game of two halves which saw Zambia dominate the first half but failed to test the Malian goalie in the 45 minutes.

Things turned around in the 2nd half as Mali attacked Zambia from the first whistle and their efforts yielded a goal in the 75th minute through Alasane Dialo.

This was after Spencer Sautu had hit the cross bar from close range.

Zambia also lost captain Lubambo Musonda in the 21st minute due to injury.

They can’t qualify for the world cup. Their display was too disjointed for a team that should go that far.

How can sports flourish in the country when the leadership is mediocre and lacks capacity to handle the economy. Vote the UPND in to ensure sports are strategically linked to the success of the country. A healthy mind leads to success

  Do you mean we should vote for someone without morals? who’s busy screwing some former first lady. Is that acceptable for someone who’s aspiring presidency? No vote for you!
