Zambia have just a game to save their stay in the CHAN tournament when they travel to Bouake on Saturday to face Tanzania in the two sides final Group A match in an 18:00 Zambian time kickoff.
Herve Renard’s side showed their familiar tournament temperament of faltering after a flying start following their 0-0 result against Senegal on Wednesday in the two teams penultimate Group A match.
However, Zambia remain top of Group A on 4 points, tied with Senegal though they usurp the West Africans on goal difference.
Tanzania are third and a point behind the duo while hosts Cote d’Ivoire are bottom on zero points.
Zambia should be relieved against Tanzania they will be able to play some old-school football after their style lost its thin gloss against Senegal, who unlike Renard’s side, subscribe to virtues of the modern game as we know it.
But although Renard confessed Zambia technical deficiency was exposed against Senegal, he surely has ambitions on a CHAN semifinal spot when they face Tanzania.
Little change is expected in terms of Zambia’s starting line-up with the only probable switch seeing Elijah Tana starting ahead of Francis Kasonde whom he replaced just after the break against Senegal.
Meanwhile, Zambia are not new to Tanzania coach Marcio Maixmo who enjoys an edge over the former after defeating them 1-0 in a friendly match played in Dar-es-Salaam on November 21, 2007.
And Renard has three Zambia players in the current CHAN team from that match namely midfielder Kennedy Mudenda, goalkeeper Mike Poto and defender George Chilufya from Nchanga Rangers.
And in the second Group A match, Senegal face winless Cote d’Ivoire who are out of contention in a simultaneous kickoff that will be played in Abidjan.
Draws for both Zambia and Senegal will be enough to see them both through to the March 4 semifinals to be played in Abidjan and Bouake.

iS THIS Africa cup like or what coz i have only heard of 2 groups and plus they are already talking semis am confused
Ba C.I.A, This is AFRICA cup but participating teams only feature locally based players without professionals. Its the first time CAF have launched this cup. The idea is to improve and expose the locally based players of national teams. I hoep this answers your question.
Am watching Chris Katongo and he has just scored a wonderful long range short to equalize against Moses Sichone’s fomer team Koln just a few minutes before half time.
This is really good for our captain if indeed what Shimpundu said is true.
go boys
Zambia 2 Tanz.0
Zam.2 Tan.0
go zambia go go gozambia go go goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo zambia go go zam
Ba Shimpundu, utuma update kabili on the match btn FC Koln and Bielefeld. Whats the final score.
the game ended in a 1 all draw with both goals scored in the first half. Katongo pounced on a defensive error and took a well executed short outside the box.

on dailymotion website
Cafonline website says Zad & Senegal have booked tickets to the semis.It reports we drew
1-1..but details still 2 cum.any1 with info..who scored 1st?how was the balance of play?
Zambia dominated the game from the first minute. However the referee was baised towards TZ. TZ scored a goal from a bogus penalty offered to TZ by the ref. However Zambia equalised thorugh a Dennis Banda wonderful goal with a few minutes left. This goal by Zambia’s Dennis Banda qualifies to be the goal of the tournament. It was a beaut and a marvel to watch. The ball just went into the top corner and into the net. It will be Zambia and Senegal in the final.
Yes we have qualified to the semi-finals of the chan. Zambia qualified as group winners and will face runners up in group B. While Senegal qualified as runners up and will face group winners of group B. Zambia will surely take this cup.
Zambia, Senegal in CHAN semis
Zambia finished top of Group A, ahead of Senegal
Zambia and Senegal qualified for the semi-finals of the African Nations Championship as Group A concluded on Saturday.
Senegal drew 0-0 with hosts Ivory Coast, while a last-gasp strike from Dennis Banda earned Zambia a 1-1 draw with Tanzania.
Tanzania took the lead in the 88th minute with a penalty from Shadrack Nsajigwa, and the Taifa Stars seemed to be heading into the last four of the first major competition that they have played in since 1980.
But Banda latched onto a corner kick and scored with a spectacular overhead shot in the fourth minute of stoppage time to put the Chipolopolo…
Atleast we are in semis as underdogs.
EVEN IT ZAMBIA HAS NO GOAL KEAPER,TANZANIA CAN’T WIN. AM SORRY MY FELLOW TAZANIANS FOR NOT MAKING IT ANY AM SURE U WILL DO IT IN SOME FEW 20 YEARS FROM NOW. KEEP ON TRYING AND NEVER LOSE HOPE.
