Zambia opened their U-20 AFCON 2025 campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Tanzania, thanks to a dramatic late goal that decided an intense encounter.
The match remained goalless for much of the 90 minutes, with both sides showing good organization and determination. Zambia created more chances, but Tanzania’s defense held firm until the final minutes.
In a thrilling finish, Zambia found the breakthrough after sustained pressure. A clever pass inside the box was met by a calm finish, giving the Young Chipolopolo all three points and lifting them to the top of their group standings for now.
Tanzania, who showed plenty of energy and defensive resilience, will be disappointed not to have come away with a point.
