Zambia finished as runners up at the Four-Nation Under-20 Invitational Tournament in South Korea after thumping Honduras 4-1 on Thursday.
Hosts Korea emerged winners thanks to a superior head to head record over Zambia after the two teams finished with six points.
Both teams scored seven goals each and conceded five each but Korea were champions because they beat Zambia 4-1.
On Thursday, Enock Mwepu’s brace propelled Beston Chambeshi’s Junior Chipolopolo side to a 4-1 win over Honduras with Edward Chilufya and Emmanuel Banda scoring the other goals.
This win helped Zambia recover from Monday’s 4-1 loss to Korea.
The African champions started the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Ecuador on Saturday before being humiliated by the Koreans.
Meanwhile, Korea on Thursday lost 2-0 to Ecuador having beaten Honduras 3-2 in the opener on Saturday.
Zambia are warming up for the forthcoming Under-20 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Korea in May-June.
Zambia will tackle Portugal, Iran and Costa Rica in Group C of the Junior World Cup.
I told you suckers, that Korea had the right to win that game because it was a friendly at home, these U20 boys are forward thinkers not dununa reverse, they know you can only score when you go forward.
Such is football. We beat Ecuador who beat South Korea a team which had beaten us.

You have done us proud, & this team will set Africa on Fire, & Qualify us for the first World Cup ever as the current senior team is rather weak.
Go all the way boys…!
Its a good result compared to the senior teams performance .i wonder how they would have fared
Good performance. Congrats boys. Ba Chambeshi nabanenu my technical bench mwabombeni mukwayi. Am very positive that after extensive training in England, our team will improve massively. Good morning.
You are nothing short of heroes boys. Great performance! Put you feet down now for the next feat
Zambia 6 points and Korea 6 points? so Zambia did not loose conglst boys
Well done boys! You are our source of pride. All the best at the world cup!

Can’t people forget politics for once? This HH and Edgar should not cloud your thinking to the extent that even when coaxing a woman you’re seeing either HH or Edgar.
Well done boys we proud of you
Comment:well done boys;we are proud of you junior chipolopolo as the all nation.
well done boys keep the momentum going. kabili ni bola na Lesa.
This was poorly concluded .. The host MUST come second since they have same points like the visiting team Zambia. The best they could do was to rematch Zambia vs S.Korea for first and second places respectively
