Mozambique’s have kept faith in the team that served them in the first round ahead of this Saturday’s away game against Zambia in the CHAN qualifiers.
Coach Mano Mano and his charges have spent the last week camped across the border in Nelspruit en route to Ndola to face Zambia in a final round first leg qualifier.
The team includes Luis of Ferroviario Beira who scored four goals The Mamba’s 9-1 aggregate first round win over The Seychelles, three of those in the 5-1 home leg win.
His clubmate and midfielder Reinildo, who scored two goals in the first round, is also set to make the trip to Zambia on Thursday.
Zambia, who have never lost to Mozambique from 15 games, are hoping to end an eight-year absence from the CHAN tournament since winning Bronze at the inaugural tournament in Cote d’Ivoire in 2009.
Mozambique will host Zambia in the final leg on October 24 in Maputo with the winner over both leg qualifying for next January’s finals in Rwanda.
The CHAN is a second tier Africa Cup for domestic league players.
