Zambia off to winning start

Zambia off to winning start

22 January 2008 - 23:19

Zambia have started their campaign in the African Nations with a comprehensive 3-0 victory against Sudan.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • A well-struck shot by James Chamanga put Zambia ahead after three minutes before Sudan wasted several good first-half chances to equalise.



    Jacob Mulenga headed in Zambia's second goal early in the second half after Clive Hachilensa hit the crossbar.



    Felix Katongo wrapped up the victory from close range just before the hour.



    Although the match was between two of the tournament's smaller teams, a sizeable crowd watched the game at the Baba Yara Stadium in the Northern city of Kumasi.



    It was in stark contrast to Monday's Group A match between Morocco and Namibia in Accra, which was played in a near-empty stadium.



    Zambia head group C ahead of Egypt who won earlier today against Cameroon 4-2.
