Sudan derailed Zambia’s 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign on Saturday after forcing a 1-1 away draw in the Group D match at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
Mohamed Mazda Abdalla’s team put up a spirited performance despite being out of contention to go to Brazil.
Netherlands based striker Jacob Mulenga headed Zambia in front after 68 minutes following a goalless first half.
Mulenga scored his third goal in the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign from a Fwayo Tembo free kick.
However, Zambia’s celebrations were cut short after Salah Ibrahim Hassan equalised for Sudan two minutes later.
Hassan benefited from the Chipolopolo backline’s failure to clear a coner.
Herve Renard’s side will rue several missed chances in both halves heading into their final group D match against Ghana away in Kumasi in September.
Zambia now leads Group D on 11 points, for at least 24 hours before second placed Ghana who are on 9 points take on Lesotho away in Maseru on Sunday.
Sudan now sits on two points.
Good perfomance zambia. Sudan took much of our time, no balance
There was sad mood among Zambians in last 3 days. The Police shot fan, ZNS also added deaths of peasant farmers. All these losses and frustrations from players can be blamed on Sata, GBM and most of Drunken Lungu.
Bravo Chipolopolo boys. It wasn’t an easy game. You fought so hard to search for goals but it wasn’t jst our day.Love u all guys and don’t give up hope
We are in contetion because in soccer anything is possible. Read site again tomorrow Lesotho draws with mighty Ghana and that is it. I have a lot of faith in my team. We are going to the world cup. Lets talk again tomorrow evening. Mark my words.
I’VE MARKED THEM MY BROTHER, LET’S SEE TOMORROW.
You deserved me! Any more predictions?
Did you notice Christian names vs Mohameds, Hassans, etc It was a religion game.
So ZED should also have featured MUHAMMED WAWA CHOONGO?
Wizo ciwa thats the patrotism we like. Even if Ghana wins 2moro, we will beat them in their own backyard.
l know ghana is a loser to us, so, lets see tomorrow, good game chipolopolo.
Very good that zambia lost.Now we can focus on what really matters like schools,health and job creation instead of an aimless,wasteful leather ball game,
we have Fwayo “mohamed”tembo…
