Red Arrows have qualified to the second round of the Caf Confederations Cup after a 3-2 post-match penalty win over hosts Ocean Boys of Nigeria in Ughelli today.
The game was decided on penalties after Ocean Boys won their home game this afternoon 2-0 to see the match finish 2-2 on aggregate over the two leg of their first round matches.
Arrows will face either ENPPI of Egypt or Zimbabwean club CAPS United in round two during the weekend of April 18-19 who played out to a scoreless draw in Harare in the first leg a fortnight ago.
Good results you made me proud of my country
Awe boyz u av done us proud.
Zesco has won, red arrows has won this is great. I strongly believe and have always believed that we are the soccer giants in the southern region and its time other clubs and nations began seeing us in that light.
Twanwa again.
Congratulations to Chipolopolo, ZESCO and RED ARROWS, we are proud to be Zambians.
They will be eliminated in the second round.
Great job and never mind people who are always negative and have nothing to offer.
Give credit where it is due. I have always not believed in our teams including the bullets. My stance has been: expect a loss, otherwise we might lucky if a draw comes or else a miracle might happen that a win. For sure things have worked out for me. No heart attacks as miracles have been happening, win after win.
When they drew against Egypt it was out of my hobbies to move in a lucky and blessed manner and draws have been taking place.
Cheer up Zambia, RED ARROWS and ZESICOLO timu ya Ziko have made us proud
Wa John Kum’mawa you have made my day. With Zambia in the last 15 years expecting a loss made life good. The Zambian downfall was good in a way for it helped us refocus on important matters like raising our families; nakuendako ku church. The young men are playing t compete, thus if they now win or lose we shall support them.
Kalusha has always had a good vision for Zambian Soccer.When he took over Chipolopolo he was criticised for introducing inexperienced players like kalaba,Jacob mulenga and the Katongo brothers. A lot of sports reporters and selfish individual attacked the Katongo brothers claming that they do not deserve their places in the national team. Because he saw potential in the lads he had to keep the faith .FAZ premier league had no official sponsors but his administration managed to secure sponsorship from Mopani.He further received unfair critism when he denied journalists access to the Chipolopolo camp in France and to date I failed to understand why our sports journalist failed could not respect the Chipolopolo private camping.
Cont’ The players groomed by Kalusha are performing wonders in HR ‘S team and thus they managed to force a draw in Cairo and the Premier league clubs have successfully defeated the most feared west african rivals and stand better chance of advancing to group stages.For the first time Chipolopolo will have official sponsors just like Bafana Bafana and other big african teams.We cannnot forget to reflect on the frustrations the Kalu administration has faced in this buiding process .It is emperative that we dont only support and appreciate the good results but also the process through which the good results are being achieved.
Yessssssss! Zambia is back! ZESCO also did it. Ladies and gentlemen, the sleeping giant has awaken. Viva ZESCO, viva Arrows, viva Zambia!
Well done boys! Let’s just celebrate the wins other than waffling who brought what and who did not like who. That is being political minded – every time wanting to get a mileage out of any happening. Football unifies all regardless of color, opinion or indeed turn out! Let’s party pipo!! If you don’t want to because i am amongst those celebrating – GO JUMP IN THE OCEAN!!
Iwe Aisha #5 ulibe nzelu. Nichani ufuna ma boyz bachoke. Celebrate when they win and that will give them encouragement and don’t be pesmistic (Sp) before the kick off of the next round. i am sure your last posting before they wn this one had the same tone. LT tipase posting ya Aisha timuone.
Well done. Now its the real test against the Arabs.
#5 aisha, am sure u have never watched zambian football in your life, concetrate on your cattles (i wonder if you have one) instead of critisizing the team. (we cant fight the global crisis with chaps like you having negative minds)…… congrates Red Arrows and Team ya Ziko hoping to see you in group stages.
