Zambia beat Senegal 2-1 in the African Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Emmanuel Mayuka put Zambia ahead with a header following a free kick in the 12th minute and Rainford Kalaba extended the lead with a clinical finish in the 20th.
Early substitute Dame N’Doye pulled a goal back with neat control setting up a near-post finish in the 74th, but Senegal ran out of time to rescue a draw.
“It’s not a surprise for us. It’s only the result of a lot of hard work. We knew we were able to do that,” he said. “And we were a bit lucky in the second half because they hit the post.” – Renard said.
