Zambia National Team popularly known as Chipolopolo boys this evening, November 6, 2013 failed to beat Jordan in a tight International friendly match after Bronson Mwape scored an own goal.
The game which kick-started at Al Wahra Stadium in Doha at 20:30 local time saw good chances from Felix Katongo, and Festus Mbewe whose herder hit the crossbar in the 45th minute.
Jordan started the faster of the two teams but Zambia settled well towards the end of the first half. Keeper Joshua Ntitima performed good saves within the early minutes of the first half.
Chipolopolo came back from first half with high rhythm as they looked for a goal. The midfield was well manned by Bruce Musakanya, Kondwani Mtonga, and Noah Chivuta. This sparked a reaction as Fwayo Tembo followed with a good shot which could not register.
Matthews Nkowani replaced Felix Katongo as Chipolopolo kept searching for the goal. Unfortunately Bronson Mwape ended up netting in his own goal giving the Jordanians a lead.
The match ended 1 – 0 in favor of Jordan.
Chipolopolo are a finished team. Jordan is not a strong team and its shameful to loose to them.
The boys tried but we need to recruite strikers. We need scorers and that is the most lacking department in our national team.
Ba Zambian Eye, the right spelling is LOSE. LOOSE means not tight or fixed. It pays to use proper words in your reporting!
Well done 2 Chipolopolo and the interim coach,technically this is nil- nil all draw but this result has a serious message 2 Chipolopolo and the coach.the 3 depts did play well but we narrow down 2 midfielders and strikers.They failed 2 produce a goal and in soccer circles this needs immediate attention.I know its not a full squad but the game against Ghana a midfielder scored in Nathan Sinkala.Any average coach will tell we have the players but its our game plan which in most cases is pathetic.I sense patrice doing the same things like H.R,i recommend him 4 some new player callups but he left Danny Munyau.He must not experiment his coach abilities on our national team.
she even does sports commentary. what more you could you ask for?
who is Bronson Mwape?
