00:03So away we go match day three in a group I of qualifying for the Total
00:10Energies CAF Africa Nations 2027 and that will be the only goal kick for Burundi
00:21Jonathan Naimana between the sticks as he usually is for Burundi
00:29He was the team starter at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations
00:35Burundi's first and only appearance at the finals so far
00:41Ended with three defeats in the group stage
00:52Launched forwards and giving the skipper something to chase here
00:56And he's going to get there as well Sakela
01:00Going in onto his right and the ball just poked away from him
01:06Enterprising start from the Zambians inside this opening minute
01:10And started poorly but have picked up some form of light
01:16With five wins in their last six in the French top flight
01:21Across and well it's caught the keeper out there and he just about
01:25Was able to bat it clear Burundi
01:29Adamant that ball across the line
01:31That was the ball in from Bienvenue Kanakimana that
01:41Was able to bat it clear that it's a good first touch and able to pick out a teammate as
01:51well
01:52Still going here into the area and it breaks kindly and it's beaten away by the keeper
01:57But the follow up is hammered wide by Kanakimana
02:04Well that's the best chance we've had so far
02:08Decent save made initially by Willard Mwanza
02:26To make sure deep cross towards the far post headed back down and it's a
02:31Oh, it's clear just in front of goal, again Burundi going close, Mumba again finds Kangwanda
02:48again driving into the area and so this time it's plucked out of the air by Nae Nae Nae.
03:00Head off temporarily and there can't be long left in this first half. Already well on to the fifth minute
03:10of time added on.
03:24Well there goes the the whistle for half time and that's the opening 45 minutes in Ndolo.
03:36And that's gonna be it for the first half and the score is still nil-nil between these two.
03:41Sami and Burundi not quite doing much in the first 45 minutes, still there's plenty to go for the second
03:46half.
03:47So scoreless between these two at a half time is the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers of big sports.
03:58And we are back underway.
04:05So just the one change at half time made by the house with Mandanji coming on in place of Bulaya.
04:29Fluxing the shoulder there, Barmaderi.
04:52Zambi looking to make themselves more of a threat in the second half at Kangangwa.
05:10Guruma Gisha opportunity to run at the defense for the Burundian.
05:24Okono from a distance and it's a real pile driver has Mwanda diving at full stretch just over the top.
05:48There is Cicala.
05:51Fashioned Cicala pulls it back and it's Ken Kawanda who's somehow steered it wide.
06:00It took a touch and perhaps that's why it stayed out.
06:04Now that Kangangwa looked.
06:06Odds on to score there for Zambia.
06:10Excellent play from the skipper Fashioned Cicala.
06:14And his pullback was just begging to be turned home.
06:21Pull it from Kangangwa.
06:24And...
06:38Banda.
06:40Banda.
06:41And Gwanza.
06:43Sends it in and it's steered home.
06:47Defender left it for the keeper and that's allowed...
06:51Edwards Celufia to sneak him behind and steer Zambia into the lead.
06:59It's been a much better showing from the hosts since halftime
07:02and they've now been rewarded with the goal that they've been craving.
07:09Edwards Celufia breaking the deadlock.
07:19And Zambia have the lead.
07:22It's the masked man.
07:24And the advantage here.
07:29Kangwanda swinging it in.
07:32Defender leaving it for his keeper but Celufia just nipping in between the two.
07:38All he had to do was apply the finish.
07:45Good ball in from Kangwanda.
07:48Put into a dangerous area.
07:53Defender uncertain what was behind him and...
07:57I'm on it.
07:59Couldn't get there in time and Celufia.
08:07Kangwanda sent it in.
08:12And uh...
08:13Celufia.
08:14The score of the uh...
08:16Only goal so far.
08:31Attempted challenge to win it back.
08:33Failed and uh...
08:35Burundi have got an equalizer.
08:40And it's Jean-Claude Gurumo Gisha who was brought Burundi level here late on.
08:49Was just allowed to uh...
08:51Keep going towards the Zambia goal.
08:54Strike took a bit deflection and uh...
08:57Ended up in the back of the net.
09:01Well that is a...
09:03Painful blow for Zambia.
09:07We just made three more changes.
09:10Looking two.
09:11We're trying to shore things up.
09:13It's Burundi.
09:17Defender stumbling and then uh...
09:19Gurumo Gisha.
09:22Firing it goalwards.
09:24I think it came off the leg of Mwanza in fact.
09:28Looping up into his net.
09:32Unable to uh...
09:34Keep it out.
09:36And uh...
09:37How important might that goal prove to be?
09:47Throws it out.
09:48We're into the sixth minutes now of uh...
09:51Added time.
10:05It's uh...
10:06All over.
10:07In Andola.
10:08Where it's uh...
10:09Finishes level this afternoon.
10:12Between uh...
10:12Zambia and Burundi.
10:14And with Chilufia giving the host the lead.
10:16Finishes.
10:18That is the final whistle here in Andola.
10:21And it's uh...
10:21Zambia and Burundi.
10:22One score.
10:23Two points.
10:25Are being sure.
10:26At uh...
10:26Levy in Mwanza Stadium.
10:28Next match will be the same.
10:30Burundi.
10:32Against Zambia.
