Last night the Warriors team were head to head with Zambia’s Chipolopolo boys in the National Sports stadium. Unfortunately the team lost with the final score of the match being Zimbabwe 0 Zambia 2.
Zambia’s Chipolopolo boys managed to emerge the victors as a result of a poor back pass and Alec Mudimu making an error. Some warriors’ fans were disappointed and quick to blame the new coach for the team’s failure.
However, this defeat does not affect Zimbabwe in regards to the Afcon finals in Cameroon. This is because Zimbabwe defeat Botswana in their previous Afcon qualifiers match and accumulated 8 points. Resultantly, there was nothing Zambia, who entered this match with just 4 points, could do to take Zimbabwe’s place in Cameroon.
On the other hand, our neighboring South African team, Bafana Bafana, lost to Sudan yesterday and therefore will not be representing Southern Africa in Cameroon along with Zimbabwe’s Warriors.
