Zambia kicked off their three-match friendly tour series on Sunday evening with a 2-1 away loss against defending African champions Cameroon in Madrid at Miniestadio Cerro del Espino.
Chipolopolo flew into Spain for the day to play The Indomitable Lions from Morocco where they are currently holding a training camp from June 8 to June 17.
Meanwhile, Cameroon took a one-nil lead into the break through midfielder Paul Ntep in the 2nd minute who beat goalkeeper Allan Chibwe in goals for Zambia.
Striker Joel Tagueu extended Cameroon’s lead in the 71st minute just ten minutes after he came on for Fabrice Olinga.
But Zambia cut the deficit in the 77th minute through striker Mwape Musonda who is fresh from winning the 2018/2019 South African Premier Soccer League golden boot with his club Black Leopards .
It was also Musonda’s debut goal for Zambia who found the target after coming off the bench to replace Belgium-based striker Fashion Sakala in the 59th minute.
Zambia now head back to Casablanca to prepare for their penultimate friendly match on June 12 against Gambia in Marrakech.
Beston Chambeshi’s side will wrap-up their North Africa and European tour with a date against hosts Morocco on June 16 in Marrakech.
Sorry chaps
BUT WHERE IS CHIYANGI? AND WHO EXACTLY IS OUR COACH (OR IS IT STAND-IN COACH)?
Sorry yakuti? These are the real opposition not those charcoalsafa Muppets you were playing
Zambian defense played well. Playing without a goalkeeper is very difficult.
Me i thought Chiyangi was the national team’s caretaker and as such, he should have been the one with the team in morocco, then abo bambi to stand in for him in his absence at cosafa. By so doing, he would have started shaping the so called chan team. Anyways, twalibelela bwalaca.
Allan Chibwe is a hopeless ‘keeper. Ba Chambeshi nabo has become equally hopeless. Sure, ba Chibwe in goal against Cameroon!!!??? Maybe, it is FAZ that have become hopeless. How do they maintain faith in coach Chambeshi who is another spent force!? Where is his Nkana? Chambeshi is fast becoming Zambia’s Wenger.
Iwe don’t compare a professor with an average coach. Wenger won trophies
