    Kenya 2 - Zambia 2. Kenya benefited with an own goal by Zambia. Zambia has a slight edge heading into the second leg.

    Match was very tight. Impressed by Zambia. I wonder if they can counter on Tuesday at home? They need a 2-1 to advance as they'd win on the away goals rule. A 3-2 win would send it to PKs.

    1-0 as well will be enough for Zambia

    (highlights)



    looks like some person run on the field just after Cameroon 3rd goal. He/she was toppled to the ground by stewards immediatelly but then again after the final whistle a lot more people were running on the pitch chased by stewards and players were urged to leave quickly.
    Let's hope nothing more serious, beside a fine from CAF will come out of it.

    Nice goals.:) Is this bilingual commentary normal in countries with more than one official language?

    Zambia leads 2-0 at halftime. There's a crappy Facebook live feed out there, but it's really not worth watching. Let's see if Cameroon comes back. 2-2 draw would see Cameroon qualify. Zambia looking to qualify for their first Olympics.

    Playoff against Chile will be tasty game to watch.

    Cameroon scores a late goal, but it's not enough. Zambia wins 2-1, aggr. tied at 4-4, but Zambia qualifies on the away goal rule.

    Re: Languages, it looks like Cameroon has huge diversity, 268 languages! French is the most commonly spoken, with English being widespread in two western regions.

    In the return game in Lusaka, Cameroon fielded a team with a couple of changes. For ZAM, Judith Zulu was in their lineup, in place of Rhodah Chileshe.

    2nd leg: Zambia 2 - 1 Cameroon, Agg 4-4, Away goals 2-1
    Mary Mwakapila 10', Hellen Mubanga 42' / Ajara Nchout 87'


    The Zambia women's team Shepolopolo qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, an amazing achievement.
    If they ever build the team's statue, maybe they can engrave this marvellous post-match quotation from the manager, Bruce Mwape:

    "I am very happy to be the first coach to qualify the team to the Olympics. I may not look happy but it is just that I am a little stressed after all the shouting"

    As discussed in the Olympics thread:

    [​IMG] [​IMG] If nothing else, this gives more time to arrange the playoff, Cameroon v Chile, which can now theoretically wait for months, if that's necessary. Organizing even a local game isn't possible in some countries at the moment, so a home-and-away intercontinental match will have extra complications. But it'll be a good day when it happens.
