Mauritius Under-20 caused a major upset today when they sent Zambia Under-20 packing out of the African Youth Championship qualifiers.
Mauritius beat Zambia 3-1 to advance 3-2 on aggregate from the first round qualifiers to the final second round after overturning 1-0 loss they suffered at the hand of Keagan Mumba’s on July 24 at Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka.
The two teams were locked at 0-0 going into halftime on Sunday on the Indian Ocean Island before Mauritius took the lead 47th minute through Clarel Jackson.
Rodrick Kabwe equalized in the 55th minute for Zambia but goals from Christopher L’enclume and David Azie in the 67 and 80th minutes respectively ensured Mauritius went through after their dramatic comeback to sail through to the second round qualifiers on the road to next years Libya finals.
Bola pa Zambia yalipwa. Until we release the Gabon crash report ! We r haunted ! The se r the players we expect to lead us to the world cup in 4 years? Nonsense
I really don’t know what to say when we seem to be doing well yet it is the opposite Shame upon us
Kuli Maritius awe bane mwatusebanya
Keagan Mumba please step up your act. We know that you are a one goal man. From a long time ago your perfomance has always been like that. Even at Chawama ground it was the same. Only one goal, and nobody from your team will score. Ifi bwanga fimo kufileka.
Footbal in Zambia = (Kalu + FAZ) = (RB+GRZ)
#5 MB, You make me laugh, your equation is very interesting.
elyo tupwile, ukufwa kuli ba mukuta sure.
Fire Kalu and his K-Stars
Did any one expect anything better? The writing was on the wall – beating Mauritius by a lone goal at home and expecting more away. Shame on the whole team.
# 5 MB, u are very TRUE. Kalusha & Rupiah are birds of the same feather. These gentlemen are just interested in enriching their pockets no wonder their reigns are full of corruption upon corruption. Zwaa!
Shocked not at all…………the problem is that we play our football in the media no the football pitch.
the under 23 ,now under 20 it all points to one thing…..grassroot football imweeee, infrastructure,exposure and administration……….
#11 mbili -I would have been shocked if we had won.
The powers that be are too much into nichekeleko. When Lula was pa zed, one RB promised that he was not gona let mpila pa zed go to the dogs, now its gone to the skunks. I feel your sentments@12 & 8. Kalu & his K-stars. I will not be shocked if Kalu began politics-mu MMD! Mulonga is now a confortable MMD cohort.
PEACE.
Keegan should resign and not wait to be forced out by the supporters. I think appointments in FAZ are based on patronage, for how else would one explain the appointment of people with no track record. We should be ashamed of ourselves, losing to such teams, I don’t know where we are heading to. We need a serious shake up at FAZ.
Aah, the title is misleading, “Mauritius shock and kick Zambia out”. It should have been ” As expected Zambia booted OUT”.
This is a sad ending to a comical start. Mauritius on one hand overhauled their team, presumably with over age players. Now since we have no proof we shall keep quite and accept. The team that came here and the one that played back home was heavily changed. yaba, twafumamo.
:o:o:ox(x(:-b@-)b-(….east and central cup dumped by zanzibar then some south american chile kicking ..u17 whipping by uganda. CHAN it was young bafana, now the u20 in mauritius..next could be uganda friendly b4 comoros islanders finally kick us out of the africa cup…that will not be a shock.its all good standards according to kalu’s bbc interview and he actually thinks zambia will be among the top 10 in africa. open ur eyes and stop dreaming mate. you need to resign, ur vision is good but the facts are clear… u don’t have a plan.
:-\”:-\”From the word go, the team was destined for NO-WHERE keagan should read newspapers,magazines and brouwse to have the latest on how other countries are improving! he picked school boys who should have remained behind to participate in the coca cola schools.Why trials in qualifiers for a big tournerment? you cried foul on strikers after that match in lsk bt was there a change in Mauritius? NO! now even the sticks were poorly manned Shame… do u mean those are the only u 20 chaps u could select even from the not so elite zed league & abroad? get tactics from Wedson Nyirenda who seems to understand Victory!!!!
that was not zambia under 20, it was kalusha bwalya k – stars team vs mauritius,
pipo are selfish, even in football……………….
mauritius u 20 it a good team come on man progress hard as well
Is Zambia going to Brazil? The last I checked you copper bullets were going to shock the one and only black stars of Africa. Please tell me what went wrong. One more question , is Zambia playing in the chan right now? Please help me
