How GBFC Beat Zanaco

Green Buffaloes have credited their 4-0 humiliation of defending FAZ Super Division champions Zanaco at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka to the good old fashion way.

New Buffaloes coach Patrick Phiri couldn’t believe his luck with news that Zanaco would be without both of their first and second choice Racha Kola and Allan Chibwe due to illness leaving their hosts with two inexperienced goalkeepers that saw one with the jitters sent-off with just barely 30 played into the first half.

The defeat was a big blow for Zanaco coach Keagan Mumba whose team had come into the game with an extra spring in their step just 72 hours after witnessing his players rally to thump struggling Forest Rangers 3-1 at the same venue.

“We planned against them when they played against Forest so obviously in two days they could not change their tactics,” Phiri said.

“We knew they were going to play that way and they fell into that trap and we had them.

“It is good that we managed to watch them and saw their strengths and weaknesses and we capitalized on them.”

Phiri admitted that the luck of the draw played a big part breaking their own record away at Zanaco whom they thumped 3-1 at the same venue back in 2011.

“Maybe if we had not seen them it would have been a different story,” Phiri said.
