Strikers Christopher Katongo and Roger Kola are expected to lead Zambia’s attack against Togo in their 2010 World/Africa Cup Group 11 qualifier this afternoon in Accra, Ghana.
According to reliable sources, clubless striker Collins Mbesuma, as expected, has not made the bench.
Missing from the starting 11 will be Zesco United midfielder Rainford Kalaba, Power Dynamos left winger Kennedy Mudenda including Kabwe Warriors attacker Emmanuel Mayuka who will also start from the bench.
Katongo of Brondby in Denmark and Zanaco striker Kola will be complemented upfront by Clifford Mulenga of Bidvest Wits of South Africa in attack.
The Brondby and Zanaco striker have each scored two and three international goals this year in all competition for Zambia.
Meanwhile, Zambia coach Herve Renard has picked Kennedy Mweene of Free State Stars in South Africa in goals ahead of Amazulu minder Kalililo Kakonje.
The match will be played at 17:00 Zambian time and will be live on ZNBC, the station has confirmed.

Does anyone know if this match can be watched live online?
Maybe LT can broadcats the results live on the web.
#2, i used to watch ZNBC online on ukzambians.co.uk. But lately, the network is terrible here. Try to login and advise.
Or is there another, is it web or page or line or what do you call it?
Hi Chiko and Anonymous,
You can try africast.tv, they broadcast ZNBC live, but you need to pay a subscription.
I’ll keep searching for other possible options and be sure to let you know if I am successful
anonymous, Thanks. ZNBC online dosen’t seem to be working anymore! I tried it already.
If that is the line-up for todays match then I think we have a chance. Great choice up front, the tall KOLA and katongo Chris in front, great choice, I have always felt Katongo should have been playing as a striker and not ifya bu namba 7. Togo have Adebayor the womanise in London, we have these too, killer punch lelo we will win. Defence I am confident of Chintu (should have been there years back but ba PP (blind), he is Zeds best defender pound for pound. In future Nyambe Mulenga is going to replace Billy Mwanza and ..
…and I think we will be very near top. Adebayor is good but not great as som newsmen(Togoese) seem to be to be suggesting, lets us ponona thme lelo
Wel done ZNBC but zesco may let us down with the load shadding lets go zambia guy be on line we gonna be up dating u of the scores try radio comerntry may be
I agree with u kafusha that though Adebayor destroyed zed in 2005, he is just an average chap and he is tall, that’s all. Mali beat Togo in Lome, zambia has beaten both star studded teams. 3-2 to zambia.
This is a good team especially the offence.I see young Clifford Mulenga making a impact. Guys back home please keep us updated as the game progreses .All the best to the boys.
3-1 Zambia
keep us posted peops back home.
Has somebody found a site where they will show the match?
why is kalaba not usually started?the guy is great on the ball and recal the supplier of the chris katongo goal against egypt,it was kalaba himself.let the coach give him a starting chance.
Hi ‘mugabe’ (I’m not sure about that name 🙂
I have subscribed to www(dot)africast(dot)tv and am watching ZNBC now.
The subscription is $6.95 for 24hrs.
I agree that Kalaba losing his place is a surprise, especially as we played much better using 4-3-3 than 4-4-2. Renaud has decided to use 4-4-2 so guess one of the central midfielders had to be dropped. Rainford was the least influential of the 3 in the second half next week and Isaac is the defensive one of the three so his place is almost assured. It therefore comes down to Rainford or Felix.
I think Renaud has opted for Kola for his physical presence too. He will hold the ball up and Chris will do the running into space
So ZNBC is definitely showing the match?
Let us wait and see what will happen in 90mins. Go 4 it boys!
Hi Whisper, can you run a text commentary for some of us? We don’t have that much broadband this side of the world to stream video. I will just be refreshing this page. Thanks in advance
Please Whisper, try message me on whats happening with the chipos. I will also be refreshing. I fully rely on you.
Hi guys,
I am watching the news at the moment and am just crossing my fingers that the match will come on afterwards.
I will try to give regular updates, keep checking back.
Alright ba Whisper, Isubilo lyesu lili muli imwe. Otherwise ngamwalaba ukutucitako update twalashalila inuma. I can’t find the free line to watch from here in Belgium
Guys try live streaming p2p search with google it might just show the match on znbc there showing the line up
Guys,
upto now nothing and the newsreader has said that the next programme is ‘Broadway’. I am suspecting that I have wasted $6.95. I don’t know how ‘live’ this stream is!
What is the proces ba Jeff?
Even the TV schedule seems to be out of date, so its hard to tell. Unless ZNBC has announced prior that it will show the qualifier.
Naimwe bene ba Lusaka kuti mulencitako update, hopefully I can followup the chipos
the match is at 19:00hrs zmt time..it only 5:30 now
The game is about to start is 1700hrs zambian time
I thought its at 5 as someone said
Ala! Between Africast and ZNBC, I don’t know who is trying to steal my money. After the news there was an advert saying that the match would be shown and asking fo sponsorship, that was followed by an advert for the Champions League final on 21st May!!! It is now showing a French Legaue game between PSG and Auxerre, it just cut to the game which was in its 70th minute.
Is there anyone on the ground who can tell me what is currently being shown on ZNBC?
its almost starting now the r singing national anthem but the signal is poor
I think africast is a rip off. why are they showing a french league match??? 70 minutes in…
-alright, there we go with confidence. Kanshi ba Jeff try to throw me something
Jeff,
were ZNBC showing the French league before switching to the game?
I want to find out if the ‘live’ stream has a few minutes lag time.
The game is on now but ther is a technical problem with znbc
Whisper, I also paid africast and am ripped off too!
The game is on as it is on the Danish pools, they are updating odds are put at 1,65 DKK (Togo win) 3,25 (Draw) DKK and 4,25 DKK (Zambia win) I have put my money on Zed. It is still 0-0. Game kicked off 17:30
0-0
Chiko,
Sorry mwana! I thought they meant it when they said live streaming. I actually don’t know how old this stream is!
Eya ba Justice mwaisa bwino. How many minutes gone since they started?
25 minutes
Oh ok..I had time mixed up ..what is the line-up those watching
What are the scores ma guys? Is it half time?
What`s happening with africast and znbc.I just paid to watch the game but they are only showing a Japanese documentary.
How is Zambia doing?
Boyd Mwila’s Cllub Örgryte have just hammered 4-0 at home by Assyriska in the, Swedish Second Division shame
Still 0-0 between us and Togo
#44 same with me. We can only rely on this blog now. Please keep us posted of the progress.
These chaps (Africast) seem to be kaponyas, the stream isn’t live. I suspect them to be Nigerian.
34 minutes gone
FIFA says Togo is leading 1-0…
Still 0-0 between Chipolopolo and Zambia
I hope so!!
Is Znbc covering this game or is it Africast that has ripped us off.
1-0 to Togo
Yes Togo 1 zambia 0 after 29 minutes
40 minutes gone still 1-0 to Togo
Still 1-0
Halftime
does anyone know the line up?
I trying calling the Africast customer support number only to hear a recorder message that the mail box is full and they cannot take my message.
what are the scores now and how many minutes to go before the game is over.
The sccores are 1-0 in favour of Togo and it is now halftime, the game resumes in a minutes or so time
45minutes i should think so, how did Togo score?
AM NOT WATCHING THE MATCH BUT WHAT CHECKING OUT THE FIFA.COM WITH LIVE SCORES AT HALF TIME IT’S ONE ZERO IN FAVOUR OF TOGO I DON’T WHO SCORED.
The 4 4 2 formation is not doing us any good. Let the coach bring in chamanga,mayuka and kalaba. Its better we use 4 3 3 formation. But Togo is not better than us. The boys are not themselves.
renaud is a physical trainer. i doubt he is any better than pp. he cant read the match well..shame on us
Well we are paying the coach 20K USD to read the game and psyche the boys..and he better. This game is crucial and a must win. The least we can take is a draw. This Togo team had all sots of trouble and the our coach has had the best camp the team has ever had ..what is the latest guys
go to fifa.com they are showing the results..and aboyt 50 minutes played already 1:0 Togo in charge
Guys we were 2-0 down vs Iran at halftime last week. Renaud read the game on that occasion, hopefully he will do it again this time.
If we can’t win, i hope we can score a goal or two, away goals…
Who scored for Togo guys?
Olufade scored for Togo. Seems as though Zambia has made no subs yet and Togo has made three already.
this how our squad looks like
* (GK) Kennedy MWEENE 1
* Francis KASONDE 2
* Clifford MULENGA 7
* Isaac CHANSA 8
* Felix KATONGO 10
* Chris KATONGO 11
* William CHINYAMA 13
* Roger KOLA 14
* chintu KAMPAMBA 15
* Joseph MUSONDA 17
* Billy MWANZA 18
Substitute(s)
What is the latest? How are we doing
Is the game on Znbc or what how many mins to go?
the goal scorer for Togo is
* Adekamni OLUFADE (16′)
data from fifa.com, might not be exactly bcoz i thought francis kasonde was injuried
It is still 1-0
We have to equalise
what are the scores Zambians people?
1-0 to Togo with about 10 minutes remaining
am hopeless
Togo has made all the 3 subs, zambia has not made any yet
This is agony!
Imagine how much money ZNBC could make if they just decided to stream the match. I would have much rather given my $7 to them some dodgy Nigerians.
WE ARE NOT MAKING ANY SUBS, WHY. AND HOW MANY MINUTES REMAINING, PLIZ
I think at least we need to not allow a 2nd goal, otherwise that’s the end of the story. I hope Chris can pull some magic at the end.
Whisper, ZNBC has a cow but they give it to the dodgy Nigerians to milk it.
Still Togo 1 Zambia 0
how are we looking though?
We have made a substitution ‘Francis Kasonde’ (I think it is actually Chintu Kapamba) is off for Sanida Zulu.
I hope that someone who is watching the game can give us a kick by kick analysis of what happend
We seem to be losing this match
what miracles??? in this age u expect miracles!!!..zambia has to play good and a better team wins.
sanida Zulu just went in few minutes ago for francis kasonde
which site ae you using?
Rainford is warming up
I mean nipa neutral ground tule chaila, chaba shani kanshi
Bane, what has happened to Jacob Mulenga and Chamanga? They arent on the bench either.
Power 2 the people,
We are using Fifa.com and our imaginations.
The guys at Fifa are poor. Apart from listing Francis Kasonde as playing they also have Gift Kampamba on the teamsheet!?
Jacob is broke his nose, I do not know about Chamanga
Jacob broke his nose, I do not know about Chamanga
we need kalaba and mbesuma if we are to score
How many minutes are left before the end of the match?
Still 1-0 to Togo
Not much about 5 minutes or so
2 mins of added time, Zambia still down.
It looks like time is now becoming real scarce resource in this game for us guys.
Come on boys, this is country the size of Lake Kariba, let’s sort them out!!
Are we creating any chances to score?
Come on!
4 minutes to go
game over,Togo 1 Our Zmabia 0 final score
Game ended. Zambia 0 Togo 1
I’m going to sleep…its 3:30am here and I’m not happy.
Isaac Chansa red carded after the match
Chris Katongo equaliser was overruled for an offside.
I hope we don’t have reports of a biased refree. This one today is from Burkia Faso I think. Why don’t CAF appoint refrees from different regions from the two teams. Anyway, I hope it doesn’t become an issue.
So someone give us a good run down of the game. I’d like to know how we defended and attacked. Isaac red card? what was the story guys?
UN Zambian police officers in liberia all them have travelled to support the team in Ghana
Chabipa pa neutral ground batu sepa, ya kakana nomba cause we have to beat them in Chilies and then whip swazi, and hope Togo drop points to Swaziland panta kwati ni goal difference that will decide who wins this group
What is wrong with de national team can’ t take advantage of togo’s confusions and neutral ground?
1-Zero is not what we wanted, but it’s not bad either.
Full time scores: zambia 0-1 togo
Changwe, did you watch the game? Give us the story.
Poor Mario is going to sleep depressed!
Full time 1-0 to Togo according to fifa.com. Any comments?
West Africa will never be freindly for Zambia. Zambia always performs when when we least expect. We have to beat the Swaziland and Togo at home and win in Swaziland. Other wise no future. Fair result rather conceding 4 goals.
not a bad score. they will see when they go to zambia. we have to win all the remainig games.
Yaba, Justice you are already starting to do the math! Zambian football fans are experts at applying the laws of probablity.
Guys, we need to win all the remaining games by good margins. Let’s start plotting how we will drug Adebayor and his boys when they visit us.
We have to watch out we don’t get caught cold in June when Swazilan dplay us afew days after they play Togo!
Guys the whole team wasnt gud at all. Surely we need experience of jacob, mbesuma,tana,misheck lungu,sinkala and sichone. We must mix with the young ones. This coach wont go very far. The 1,2 type of futubo is gone. But let us soldier a head.
Zambia lost one zero man. Not a good start hope they we win the remaining games. They is more work need to be done. Though we will see the adjustment for them remaining games. Good luck fox.
Justice, what channel are you watching the game on?
Can someone please give us an analysis of the game? Some of us are even neglecting our children waiting!
Did they dominate us, who was the best player, how did they score, was Chris’ goal offside?
Whisper, no math, we just need make sure we are playing a good game. I’m sure the team has come on allot these past weeks, but really the squad needs much more sure of itself. Why was Kalaba not on and Kasonde was, the team seems much better, but still that was not in the rehearsals . There are issues in our game and i hope these will be adressed directly and decisively .
It appears that the fifa.com info isn’t much reliable – I have just spoken to someone who has watched the match in Zed and told me that in fact Chamanga came in as substitue but on fifa.com lineup he wasnt even on the bench. Chansa was redcarded for arguing the disallowed goal at the end of the game.
I wish to confer all Zambian soccer fans with a degree in Soccer Probability Analysis, because that is what we will start applying now
whisper u are crazy ati we drug Adebayor ??? Togo is a good team lets just hope for the best ..if Togo made all the 3 substitutes in the first half thats a clear indication that they where under pressure coz the chipopolo boys only made 1 change am sure the we will do better in the next game..
Chris’ goal might have been offside at the time it was passed I think to Mayuka, I am nto sure how the offside rule is applied. I watched the game from 25 minutes to the end, the guys did not have a veru strong strike force, Clifford was good, Katos and Chamanga did not seem to combine very well, playing Felix at 6 did not help, I would have preferred Isaac at 6 and Felix at 8, he is more forceful there, but the coach knows better. The defence was not bad today but still needs some work, i did not see the goal for Togo so I am not qualified to say more. But there is a lot of hope for this team.
Well gents it aint over till the fat lady sings.I believe Tana/Sichone as centre backs and Andrew Sinkala playing defensive mid(Makalele position) will allow us to play the free flowing football we are capable of.We need a solid defensive unit and the rest im sure will come to play especialy with the potential we have in midfield and strikers.
Its better we stumble at the first hurdle, regroup and come back stronger then fail to perform when it realy matters.
We will take care of Togo in our back yard.and win the remaining games.
By the next game the goals will come.Keep the faith.
Togo 1-0 Zambia
At a neutral ground.
#129 I doubt you will ever see Sinkala on the pitch we might as well start talking about other players who we can groom for 2010, Sinkala ia ailing and the earlier we accept the better. we were watching this game under a lot of pressure but play was not that bad believe me if you watch it under normal circumstances.
The changes we might need, Kennedy Mudenda and Kalaba must come in for Isaac and Chamanga, then at some point you can rest Kalaba and get cliffors, if we are to go by the Botswana game, Kennedu Mudenda did a good job, we need balls in the 18 and central strike force, once we get the balls there then we are assured of a goal.
Mwiinga, thanks for the insight. I think you highlight some very good points . This issue of getting the ball in the 18 is one that has persisted since Cam at afcon. The boys seem to get to around 25 easy enough and then it’s like we run out options. We must have a striker that can hold the ball long enough for others to join…
we needa a fit mbesuma nd big mo. its not over. we win our games n everthing will be alright
For those who watched, hows our performance, did we create chances?how did the mid field do? was the defense tight?
How did they score? did our forwards put them under pressure?
rate our performance in departmants, keeper,defence, midfield, strikers, coach?
id appreciate feed back from all who saw the game,cheers guys, we will prevail i our back yard.his is exra motivation for the boys watching from the sidelines,like Mbesuma.
Indeed the boys need to die a little for our country , this will come thru the right guidence,preperation and confidence.
when are the next games and when do we host those Togo chaps?
Last but not least, ONE LOVE AND BIG UPS TO LUSAKA TIMES!Thanks!
Mwe bantu,give us proper analysis so that we can start shoting kaili.
