Zambia trashes Sudan 3-0 | African Cup Of Nations 2012

Published on February 4, 2012 by Nile Sports · No Comments

Zambia reached their first Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals in 16 years after a clinical 3-0 win over struggling 10-man Sudan.

Stophira Sunzu headed in from a free-kick in the 15th minute and Christopher Katongo made it 2-0 in the 66th when he scored from the rebound after his penalty was saved. The substitute James Chamanga sealed Zambia’s dominance in the 86th with a curling shot from the edge of the area that went in off the post.

Sudan’s hopes of an upset slipped away when the defender Saif Eldin Ali Idris was sent off in the 65th minute for a reckless foul on Rainford Kalaba that led to Katongo’s penalty. By then the Sudanese had already been forced into two first-half substitutions because of injury before Ali Idris went for his second bookable offense.

Zambia could have won by an even bigger margin but the Sudan goalkeeper Akram El Hadi Salem, who had a busy night, dived full length to his right to save a stoppage-time effort that appeared destined for the net.
