FAZ President Kalusha Bwalya has hailed Chipolopolo for making a bright start to the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
Striker Winston Kalengo last night scored a lone goal as Zambia kicked off the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with a 1-0 win over Sudan away at Karima Sports Complex.
This was the first leg tie of the knock out round two World Cup qualifiers.
Kalusha, a Zambia legend, said George Lwandamina’s boys have made the nation proud by beating Sudan.
“Chipolopolo has done us proud. We got the result we worked so hard for,” he said in a post-match interview.
Zambia and Sudan clash in the return leg on Sunday in Ndola with the overall winner advancing to the group stage of the World Cup qualifying campaign.
“We have to finish the game at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Sunday,” Kalusha said.
