Chipolopolo Thump Uganda in Friendly

Chipolopolo thumped Uganda 3-0 in a friendly match played in the Middle East on Tuesday evening.

This was Zambia’s second friendly match in six days having succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Egypt last Thursday.

Forward Fashion Sakala doubled the lead in the 64th minute with Daka completing his double five minutes later.

The Chipolopolo Boys are warming up for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the January Africa Cup of Nations.
