ZAMBIA has two games left in order seal their ticket to the Africa Cup of Nations (AfCON) in Ivory Coast next year, after they made Crocodile mince out of Lesotho.
Â
In a second back-to-back AfCON qualifier clash against the Crocodiles of Lesotho yesterday, the Chipolopolo Boys were revitalised and hungry enough to turn the nation’s three consecutive AfCON appearance drought into a fertile ground of victory as they beat their opponent 0 – 2 at Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Â
The Avram Grant-coached side begun to unleash their bullets and in the 13th minutes, Zambia broke the deadlock through a Patson Daka goal.
Â
Daka went on to complete his brace for the day, courtesy of assists from Scotland-based striker Fashion Sakala.
Â
With yesterday’s brace, Daka increased his goal tally for the national team to 11.
Â
Thus far, the Copper Bullets are at the summit of Group H, Ivory Coast, who faces Comoros tomorrow to either reclaim their position or stay behind.
Â
Zambia’s Copper Bullets now awaits to fight with the Elephants of Ivory Coast in June this and later on Comoros in September this year.
