Zambia Senior And Junior Teams Chase Wins on Saturday

Share

Both Zambia senior and junior teams are in action today away in important matches.

Herve Renard’s side are in Luanda where they face hosts Angola in a Caf Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier 2nd round, 1st leg game.

Zambia will host Angola in the final return leg on December 13 at Konkola Stadium with the winner over the two legs qualifying to the inaugural CHAN tournament to be hosted by Cote d’Ivoire next March.

CHAN is a new Caf nations tournament exclusively for home-based national team players.

And the Zambia Under-20 team open their 2008 Cosafa Under-20 Cup campaign against Seychelles in a Group A game in Kimberly.

Meanwhile, Zambia’s Cosafa Under-20 Group A opponents and hosts South Africa set the standard on the opening day of this years event yesterday after outclassing Lesotho 4-0 at Absa Stadium in Kimberly.

Lesotho were toothless against a vibrant South Africa who face their biggest test on Monday when they take on old foe Zambia in the two sides big penultimate Group A match at the same venue.

South Africa took the lead in the 10th minute through Thulane Serero who finished off a cross from Mandla Masango.

The 2007 Cosafa Under-20 Cup runner-up were 2-0 on 41 minutes through rising star Phumelele Bhengu who scored the first of his two goals in the match.

Bhengu completed his brace in the 49th minute before Serero joined in on the act 16 minutes from time with a sublime strike from a tight angle inside the 6-yard to the far post.

Zambia this afternoon face Seychelles in match one and in a game they must win to give them some confidence ahead of their big derby showdown against Amajita at the start of the week.
