Chipolopolo Zambia drew away with Mozambique on Sunday must now win at home this coming weekend to stay in the hunt for 2022 CHAN qualification.
The match ended 0-0 in Maputo as serial draw kings Mozambique continued from where they left off at last weekend’s 2022 COSAFA Cup in Durban.
It was the same thing at the COSAFA Cup where Mozambique drew in their quarterfinals against ex-holders South Africa and in the third place playoff against Senegal that were both decided on post-match penalties.
In-between, Mozambique suffered a 1-0 semifinal loss to runners-up Namibia.
Sunday’s stalemate leaves Zambia with no choice but to win their July 30 final leg home fixture in Lusaka.
Winner will advance to next month’s final round where Malawi awaits.

Malawi should qualify
Zambia should definitely and this time is at the pick point. I know that they are drawing an inspiration from President HH’s determination and words of encouragement he gives to all national teams and individual players. I saw the same thing during the late KK’s rule as well as Chiluba’s before Gabon disaster. HH has done the same and they have won all their marches – both boys and girls. One Zambia one Nation. Long live Zambia, HH and all the leaders and its people.
Qualification for Zambia is a sure deal, no matter what.
