WEEKEND SCORECARD: Bwale stays calm after Zambia U20 victory

Zambia U20 coach Charles Bwale is staying calm despite their comfortable away win over Rwanda in last Saturday’s 2019 U20 AFCON qualifier.

Defending champions Zambia beat Rwanda 2-0 in Kigali on May 12 in a first round, first leg qualifier thanks to a Francesco Mwepu brace in the 33rd and 77th minutes.

The two sides meet in the final leg in Lusaka this Saturday.

“The game is water under the bridge but we cannot sit back just because we won 2-0 and then say that we are done because we still have the second leg in Lusaka,” Bwale said.

“We have seen the strengths and weakness of Rwanda, so the game in Lusaka will be a different ball game.

“We will not sit comfortably on this lead.”

Last Saturday’s win also marked defending U20 AFCON champions entry into the Niger 2019 qualifiers after enjoying a preliminary round bye.

Rwanda on the other hand booked their date with Zambia after a 1-1 away and 0-0 home draw against Kenya in April to advance on away goals rule.

Winner over both legs goes through to the final qualifying round in July where they will face either Sudan or Burundi who are tied at 1-1 heading into this weekends final leg in Khartoum.
