Sikombe went on to complete his brace in the 59th minute but Issa joined him on the act in the 67th minute.
Niger then restored parity in the 79th minute through Issa Amadou to see the two sides share the spoils.
All four teams are level on 1 point after a game each following 2021 CHAN hosts Cameroon’s 1-1 draw on Friday against Uganda.
Chipolopolo play Uganda on January 4 at 17h00 while Cameroon takes on Niger in the late kickoff.
The tournament will end on January 7 with Cameroon playing Zambia and Niger facing Uganda.
3 goals conceded was too much …defence must be worked on
It’s good that they are scoring…but let them seal the defense
If you’re watching Brighton vs wolves then you will say wolves and Zambia are in same WhatsApp
Defence remains wanting.and goal keeping should be improved.
Poor tactical approach and Mitcho might come back if chipolopolo technical bench fail to read game play or kill the game.
Improve defense good results go Zambia go
Not bad results just work hard next time
