Zambia lost 2-1 away to Saudi Arabia in a friendly on Wednesday.
The visitors scored their lone goal in the 71st minute through Nkana striker Evans Kangwa.
Zambia’s next friendly will be on December 22 away to Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam.
Meanwhile, Mukuka Mulenga has been crowned 2012 Zambia player of the year.
The teenage Power Dynamos midfielder received the award in absentia on Wednesday evening during the MTN football awards ceremony held at Government Complex in Lusaka.
Mukuka was part of the Zambia team in Saudi Arabia.
And Nkana striker Reynold Kampamba won the top scorers and young player of the year award.
Really ? Too bad :(
Go Nkana, go!
Its a good results. if we keep winning we can become big headed. this result gives us room to improve. But as a defending champ we need to use at this stage practice games prayers we shall go with to the tournament.
Mweene is sitting on the bench in South Africa…worrying development…
was injured boyi, dont worry
Football…………African football at that!……Who gives a funk anyway?
– At-least the boys will tell their families & friends that “..we have being ku Saudi Arabia ifwe” “.. alakusuma, but tatwalileko nsima, they fend us on hummus, katwishi mudala maybe thats what manna tastes”. But Ba Kamwandi no beer for him.
– And the FAZ officials got their full K25million allowances each, that’s enough for school fees of their nephews.
Thats how I view the importance of these matches.
No doubt, Mukuka Mulenga was the most reported player. Sate Sate could have been man of the year, but anyway, Mukuka was more nchenjeshi,,, these Bemba boys!!?
Good feedback for HR to work with….
Saudi drew with Agentina 0-0 the time we were beating south africa with the latter fielding all the satrs including Messi so they are a very good side. If its the same Saudi team we played then its not a bad result at all
A defae can never be a good rezult even if Lusaka Tigers were to loze by a goal to nil against the mighty Barcelona in Spain. We should take each game we play az African Championz, with or without regular players seriously (and not hide in the “developmental team” nonsense!). What about the golz scored by the Saudiez????
Iwe Nostradamus, for your information Mukuka and Kampamba come from the superior …….. speaking tribe.
#11 i think nostradamus didnt mean it that way,it may have been more of a joke,what has happened to your constructive blogging my brother also u.. and ka gelo lets avoid tribal blogging.On this page all tribes blog not only your traditional cousins so be mindful and constructive…
KALAMPA Forever
In these friendly games, it is not so much the result that matters to the coach, it is the way the players account for themselves, remember Herve Renahrd was using the game to assess some players for inclusion in the provisional 26 man squad for the AFCON, so that has helped him. Did all the two goal keepers play, who conceeded the goals, that may be important!!!
…superior …speaking tribe or superior…stealing tribe?
Big ups for coach HR he has been trying to improve the team all the time,lets go back with the full team and see if those saudes can repeat the same results.
Awe bane we are tired of losing matches this year, ala naba Malawi balituwina and yet we want to be called African Champs…..We have less than five weeks to stop losing games or else we will go with the same mentality ku AFCON. Ba Herve Renard, ama Developmental sides have no right to lose matches because at the end of the day they are called Chipolopolo nokutusebanya sana. Ine ndefwaya next game ukuwina ifyamano pano or else I will fire all of you including ba FAZ and the respective Ministry. Muleichindika bane tamwishibe ati tatusekelamo ukulusa lusa………..That’s why Zambians will keep on mentioning and crying for the return of Wisdom Chansa, Derby Makinka, Eston Mulenga, Elijah Litana or any old face they knew despite you having won the AFCON 2012. Pull up your socks bane.
Fair Result but HR must always start with his first 11 line up for AFCON 2013 and try other combinations in the second half.
Sate sate- but the first 11 line up is still not with him as they are only released 7 days before the tournament by fifa regulation.
good to hear that Evans Kangwa is in the game. Pa Zed it iz common for players to finish in no time after some good allowance!!
HR pliz make use Evans Kangwa & Sate Sate in South Africa, you need a trump card in your strike force. Mayuka is going through a dry spell & he will be tightly marked at AFCON. These two lads can make a difference. Get rid of tired legs like Felix[no offence he’s a good player, but he should make way for new blood]. Maintain Chris, he’s proved to a good leader on & off the pitch.
