00:00the copper queens and the zebras the mighty mares of Botswana playing their
00:23second match in this mini three nation series it's not black and white it's not
00:29easy to call it's women's football and it's going to take the center stage over
00:34the next few weeks and months and continue the story where Zambia enter a
00:41physically tactically clever copper queen outfit stride out for the very
00:46first time in the three nations series against the mares of Botswana who
00:53definitely skedaddled in the second half on Wednesday afternoon so is it within
00:58them to now produce a consistent 90 minute display against one of the best
01:03in the African game and today under the 20 sunshine these two regional Korsafa
01:12rivals will go head-to-head toe-to-toe Zambia in their traditional attire in the
01:19striking orange and black Botswana the zebras the mares in their light blue and
01:26white and this contest emanating from the Lucas would be masterpieces stadium it's
01:36once again a pleasure to narrate the action for you this Saturday afternoon in
01:41the bustling suburb of at Ridgeville hello Tonya Johannes will start on the
01:47right-hand side on the zebras okay for me that's what Zambia it will be
01:52interesting to see how they take on this Botswana team considering that they are
01:56adapting to a new Swiss style of play but Botswana hoping to start this match on the
02:01front foot and they do so after producing a very order early corner kick a wonderful
02:10swift attack led by radio can you who scored an absolutely stupendous volley for
02:17Botswana on Wednesday against South Africa she's warmed up and her engine is purring
02:24corner opportunity here for the zebras they would want a fast start to decent delivery up towards
02:36the edge of the six-yard box well dealt with by Rachel natchula radio can you
02:42receives a hand in the face and Botswana are going to receive another free kick set
02:50piece should I say grace Chanda was the guilty party that time around quite a lot of physicality in her
02:57locker another very presentable opportunity here for a radio can you and Botswana she's going to
03:10whip it in and so she does towards that front post well dealt with though by Wimba she managed to clear
03:17her and her team's lines but this is a really good start from Botswana early on in this clash the type of
03:27start that their coach would have really wanted to see in the type of start a lot of people were
03:31expecting considering especially in the African context everyone is building up towards the Women's
03:39Africa Cup of Nations hosted once again by Morocco
03:43Rachel natchula
03:52grace Chanda took it well the through ball was nearly on the money the goalkeeper had to come out and so
04:07she did let's say homo wing and she did about just enough to smother the opportunity second time
04:17around in fact Banda is always on the move of course it's grace Chanda but standing over the football
04:27now she went deep and long the last time around this time it's closer towards the six yard box the
04:35goalkeeper didn't do her job appropriately but the strike from the edge of the box was well wayward
04:41Zambia will really want to capitalize on the hesitancy the tentativeness of Botswana when balls and
04:52deliveries are delivered into the box just like we saw that time around
04:57got to go
05:00I've got to go or to the manager like this is Chanda
05:05well again a foot each and I'm I'll try to tell that not to love
05:12go
05:38foot to him go to lega equal kick him yes this is the start of a new era for the copper queens
05:52throwing delivered into the box
05:56katongo crosses it in there goalkeeper parries it and then she claims it again
06:02just before banda can try and tap it home
06:08she needs to carry a physical presence throughout this game does botswana's
06:12goalkeeper lesejo moeng especially with barbara panda and mapepa and kundanaji as well as
06:19grace chanda in and around her area
06:26this time zambia took the direct approach katongo took the direct approach
06:31and the second wing would have slightly been unsettled by tanda who was just ahead of her

09:52of the Tampa Lisa hope I'm welcome I'll show me that's all my paper all please
10:01cut to do if you're getting a box in it was a Puma it's definitely been a much
10:07more solid defensive display in this match in this first half compared to
10:13their first half outing against the hosts on Wednesday afternoon
10:17Wimba seems to be a savvy ball-playing defender and as soon as I say that she's dispossessed
10:26and she's forced to go back to try and defend Botswana are on the charger is she
10:31on side can they come up with an opportunity she goes down in the books
10:34but the referee calls everyone back to a previous fight
10:41a lot to unpack there the wing is still down in the box for Botswana as you can
10:47see that she was probably offside
10:56and to be fair I don't think it was her that committed the foul great defensive
11:01work there from Irene Lungu one must wonder what Nora hope player thinks of this first
11:09half display from Zambia but Botswana have a consolation prize a free kick about 10
11:16minutes 10 meters beyond the halfway line and she's going for goal a very ambitious
11:21attempt that one was
11:23hope it took her to go she backed herself and in the end she just put a little bit too much on it but
11:36that's a very tidy attempt for a brief moment was Sonda was most certainly worried Wednesday gave us goals galore
11:47Botswana are much more rigid and disciplined this time around the copper
11:52queens have led this dance and Botswana have kept up with them every step of the
11:57way for Zambia this is a proper test before Tuesday before the women's Africa
12:02Cup of Nations and they're yet to find a route through
12:16Botswana go to Nautica I see Jim it who better and check over

13:22right child to the nation
13:28what we are figure Rachel kundanash him
13:31a relatively early test for the goalkeeping substitute of course won the
13:55best goalkeeper award at the recent Korsafa champs last year and here's a
13:59chance for the second time in this match Zambia the copper queens crunched the crossbar
14:12Barbara Banda found a good ball to grace Chanda and she took the strike on instinctively but luck
14:22just hasn't been on this side in the second half goalkeeper the second wing chance again
14:29for Zambia grace Chanda good delivery into the box another chance another chance over the top
14:37it's time it was my paper I decide to try her luck
14:45missy chipper Sula I'm gonna enter when that is come to Lufia I really look at people at

16:23substitutions also going to come in thick and fast now as we approach the
16:27full-time whistle as both Nora Hopler and Alex Malete will get a good feel of
16:34their whole full squads this looks promising for the zebras this looks really promising
16:43one lady in the box to pick up the goalkeeper parries it Botswana have equalized against the run of play
16:51what a strike what a goal out of the blue for the ladies in blue
16:56scores for the zebras and just like they did in the second half against South Africa they have
17:09somehow found a second wind they have picked themselves up and they're back in the contest
17:16another goalkeeping error has yielded another goal in this contest this time it's Botswana's
17:32the delivery from Tola Kele on the right hand side was put into that corridor of uncertainty where
17:38so much chaos often transpires
17:45and she was on hand to tap home
17:56the copper queens were most certainly not expecting that
18:00but this is what resilience buys you
