Zambia win 10-9 on post match penalties against African legends

Goalkeeper, Kalililo Kakonje, was the hero for Chipolopolo Legends after scoring a penalty and then saving one from the legendary Kalusha Bwalya to hand the Zambian side victory over the African Legends.

Kakonje beat Democratic Republic of Congo legend Robert Kidiaba with an impressive penalty kick before saving a Kalusha effort to hand the Chipolopolo Legends a 10-9 win on post match penalties.

The crowd at Heroes Stadium applauded Kalusha as he walked up to the penalty area to take the penalty.

But the 1988 African footballer shot a tame effort straight at Kakonje which effectively swung the tie in favour of the Chipolopolo legends.

Clifford Mulenga, Kennedy Mweene, Felix Katongo and Collins Mbesuma were among Chipolopolo legends that converted their spot kicks in a match that went into penalties after a 2-all draw at full time.

Congolese goalie Kidiaba, South African duo of Lucas Radebe and Sipiwe Tshabalala and Ghana’s Stephen Appiah successfully converted their spot kicks.

Earlier in the match, Emmanuel Mayuka gave the Zambian legends the lead but his goal was cancelled out by a Chintu Kampamba own goal.

Cameroon legend Patrick Mboma then scored from the spot kick to give the African legends a 2-1 lead.

Congolese goalie Kidiaba had an impressive performance and capped off his heroics by saving a late James Chamanga penalty.
