Burundi Ursurp Zambia In Group B

Share

Zambia’s opponents on Thursday and defending Cecafa Senior Cup defending champions Sudan are out of this years tournament after Burundi beat them 1-0 today in Jinja.

An 8th minute goal from Eric Katotot sealed Sudan’s fate who have two points and cannot overhaul Kenya and Zambia, both on 5 points, or new Group B leaders Burundi who have 7 points.

Meanwhile, Kenya moved into second place ahead of the big clash against Burundi on Thursday at 15:00.

Zambia need a win over Sudan in the 13:00 kickoff to attain a top two finish in a tight group B with all to play for on Thursday to book their place in Sunday’s semifinals.

Both games will be played at Nakivubo Stadium in Kampala.

Meanwhile, reinforcements have arrived from home for limping Zambia ahead of the Sudan game with Zesco United striker Nicholas Zulu and Zanaco midfielder Henry Banda joining the team in Jinja Tuesday morning.

The duo have come in as cover after Kabwe Warriors midfielder Maunga Kabuku suffered a foot injury that has ruled him out for 5 weeks while Zesco midfielder Kebby Hachipuka is serving a one-match suspension that left Zambia with only 16 players available prior to Banda and Zulu’s arrival today.

  4. Casey Khisho
    awe tema arabs,but northern part of sudad is occupied by muslims,then Southern Christian or vise vesa

  5. BURUNDI? Which town in Zimbabwe is Burundi? Some countries should not even play football. They are famous for killing each other. They are top of the group? Sorry I dare say soccer is finished. Luanda, Burundi and Genocide rhymes. Next topic LT

  6. ba zambia na njala yatu,surely we are going nowhere,anyway lets rally behind the boys to help them get, there meal ticket.

  7. There are no under dogs in this toney even Sudan can manage a surprise win over ZED.
    I however still have hopes in the reinforcement, from Chalo Chesu pa ZED.
    Sudan will fall but will die fighting.
    If we draw then we have no chance in case Kenya beats the top team.

  8. #6, Its not PF,its PE(Physical Education)trainer

    As regards tthe topic at hand,This PE trainer has to deliver lest be fired.Enough is enough.Soccer is result-oriented.

  9. #6 Pinkly, it is PE not PF man.even if you a disciple to sata dont drive us into politics please.

    this will be a tighty competition. i fear for zambia. anything can happen. our boys are not just strong.

  10. # 31 mbo, I will now need a full list the squad, I have got 41 renouned muscle men waiting here to deliver 11 Shjamboks each. Please quick. They will then be taken into celler where they will spend 11 cold nights with 1 meal a day.

  11. Iwe #6 Pinky bushe ngawamonafye P ninshi ni pf? We are talking football. Read # 5 comments again and say sorry if you are human.

  12. #35 Buchi Boys. Eeeehehehehehe. @ Zambia should beat Sudan…kwisa uko? Those have done morethan 10 years of running battle. They dont play soccer with people who cannot hold a gun properly.

    I also refuse to argue with a person without a gun. Unless you have a gun with you, you can argue, otherwise I riddle you with bullets

  13. #37 ok bossy navela,sorry mwandi, sometimes i had prblems,so me talk bad to people,cause sometimes hate perpertrates my brain communication and i just say nothing good obviously,but sometimes me reason especially political genders of zambia.

  14. I think I have just observed that Pinkly and Nine Chale have one thing in common. They are all desciples of SATA. Nine chale even uses green passport to praise SATA.

  15. Kawalala and Casey atishani uku ndetelako icha mpepo chi zlamba or chi joozi. winter is coming .. pa june

  16. All the remaining GROUP B Matches have been moved to Kampala.

    The Council for East and Central Africa Football Association (Cecafa) Secretary General Nicholas Musonye said yesterday that Bugembe Stadium will no longer host any matches after yesterday’s two fixtures.

    PREDICTION

    Kenya 1 Burundi 0

    Zambia 2 Sudan 1

  17. Go n go….the thre horse race..Hahah… Tough moments await…All the best Zambia. Wish Zambia n Kenya to pull shocks n go thru’:d/

    there are two types of sudanesse, the arabs in the north and the blackest people you will ever see on earth, they come 4rom the south.
    they are very tall.

  19. kaya,now its zed under pressure.if we had kicked kenya or burundi,things wud have been diff.now sudan will just frustrate our chances,and it’ll be a big shame for zed to pack at this stage in CECAFA.Guys plz die a little fo mother zed,we can do better than this copper bullets.

  20. Good morning Bloggers!! :)>-

    Piece of advice:

    Counting on Zambia to win, has been known to give people heart attacks and sometimes strain marriages. You are advised to set your mind on “lose” mode to cushion the after effects.

    What a way to start a morning!!

  21. Pinkly,how r u today?

    2 actually meant patrick phiri(pp)and not SATA’s PF.Zambia/sudan and kenya/burundi should have bn played at the same time at diffirent venues so that there is no match fixing of any kind.The fixture right now favours kenya/burundi.

  22. Sat mwana, wat Heart attacks pipo’s parents,wives or husbands have died no heart attack has been recorded. am a big fun of Zambia i hav just missd a few games for Zambia wen am around. I still know Zambia will pull tru. Lets go Zambia lets go. From the line up the possible pipo to score ar Jonas,Rodger,Nicolas or Kondwani. Lets wait and see **==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==**== Ba Monze or sorry Ba Moze

  23. Ba Man kunde u trying to be real i know, but even if a thief came into yo home wen u wer young u wouldnt supot theif coz he looks to be stronger than yo dad, u wud supot yo dad to the end, so lets go zambia lets go man kunde dont become woman kunde **==**==**==**===d>

  24. Even in a small tournament like this one you need to use calculators. I think as a country its high time we thot of long term planning.Maybe as much as 5 years.

  25. Burundi is a good team. Remember that the last time Zambia played in CECAFE the only team that beat them was Burundi. I do not see Kenya wining them, maybe a draw. Burundi is almost 70% in the semi-final. Zambia definitely needs a win against Sundan to go through

  26. Sudan will be wounded. That poses a danger to our chances. We just have to win however otherwise we will be on the fisrt plane out of Kampala on Friday.

  27. Ba Zambia nifyo fine thats why nomba nifwebo ba Arsenal tulefwayafye ba ka pange calo tukapange Arsenal National Team lol

  28. We should learn to bag these small tournaments for our mother Zambia because its not easy to get past big boyz at major tournaments these days. All the best lads! we are behind you.

  29. :dBy now Chipolochipolo must be heading to the airport. Cecafa is not a walk over. They better just join it. Leaving in preliminaries is a shame. Hahahahah!!!! Kenya go!!!!
