Zambia extend unbeaten run despite modest draw

Wedson Nyirenda’s Zambia remained unbeaten in their last three games after collecting a modest away draw against Zimbabwe.

The two sides finished 0-0 at The Nationals Sports Stadium in Harare on Sunday.

One of the major highlights saw goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene deny Zimbabwe a late winner in the 82nd minute when he stopped Ronald Chitiyo’s effort against the run of play as Zambia mounted the pressure in the last ten minutes.

Meanwhile, the result was a redemption of sorts for Nyirenda after losing 1-0 to Zimbabwe in his second match at the helm on November 5 in another friendly in Harare.

Since then, Zambia have picked up a 1-0 win away to Uganda on November 8 in Kampala and draws with the first one against Cameroon, that ended 1-1 on November 12 in a 2018 World Cup qualifiers, and Zimbabwe this weekend.

Zambia XI: Kennedy Mweene, Taonga Bwembya, Fackson Kapumbu,Fwayo Tembo, Billy Mutale,Kondwani Mtonga,John Chingandu,Fwayo(Sub: Kelvin Mubanga),Augustine Mulenga,Jackson Mwanza, Ronald Kampamba
