Chilufya came off the bench in in the 82nd minute to score a stoppage time goal in Djurgarden’s 2-0 home win over Hacken.
These young stars need to work harder. I think Kambole talks too much, any way, his is not my favorite player. Edward scores a goal after 2 years he makes the headlines, WOW! If our best don’t get serious we wont make AFCON again never mind Qatar. Someone have a chat with Shonga. What happened to Macha?
Kekekeke that boy Edward finally he scores, after 2 years?
That boy needed to focus on school, not football. Football is for likes of Fashion Sakala, he is the only player who last. He is hardworking and sells himself.
Kambole is going to be lethal..
“…came off the bench” or “Was substituted” shows just far down the drain Zambian football has gone! Epo mpelele.
