In a post-match interview monitored on the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) You Tube channel, Kanyemba acknowledged the disappointment but emphasized that the team gave their best performance.

“It’s unfortunate we didn’t get the result we wanted, but the girls played their hearts out,” she said.

She highlighted the importance of learning from the match, vowing to correct mistakes ahead of the next game. “We’ll review our errors and come back stronger for the next match,” Kanyemba added.

Looking ahead, Kanyemba stressed the importance of winning their remaining two matches to secure a spot in the knockout stages.

“It’s not over. We still have two games and six points to fight for,” she said.

The Copper Princesses will face Poland on October 21.
