ZAMBIA’S INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE RATINGS IN YESTERDAY’S GAME AGAINST LESOTHO.
TOASTER NSABATA: 6/10…..
Not really judging him on the mistake he made, that gifted the visitors a goal, but on fact that he wasn’t really put to test, so there wasn’t much to take from his end.
THANDI MWAPE:: 5/10……
He looked off positioned and was caught napping in few occasions when and where Lesotho decided to attack. Mwape is not really having a good run at his club TP. Mazambe, and he has not been a regular starter this season. Zambia was fortunate on this position, for the fact that their opponents were not offensive
FRANKIE MUSONDA:: 8/10…..
very calm on the ball, accurate passes, he did not only used his feets to play, but his voice too, in making sure that his defense partners were on point. His ability to go forward whenever Zambia had a setpiece, was an added advantage, at times he was seen playing in the midfield like a deep 6, this gave Zambia numerical advantage in the midfield.
BENEDICT CHEPESHI:: 8/10…….
Very composed and concentration level was on point. the only local player in the starting lineup, showed why the coach settled for him.
just like Frankie, the Red Arrows Captain was able to overlap, dribble and put up some good passes, his clear goal scoring pass to Patson in the dying minutes of first half, could have earned him the best assist of the match.
RODERICK KABWE:: 7/10…….
Kept his position well, he didn’t do much of the overlapping, he must have realized that coming back would have been a problem, like it has been for him in the past games, staying back was the best to do, and he did it well.
BENSON SAKALA:: 6/10……
He didn’t really have much to do as Lesotho were playing deep in their own half, the coming in of Frankie in the mid of the park in few occasions, could have have somehow pushed Benson off position.
we should also be quick to realize that, holding midfielders sometimes put up an invisible performance that can only be seen by people with football tactical sight, and that could be the case of Benson SAKALA.
KLINGS KABGWA:: 7/10…..
He didn’t have his usual game, especially in the first half, but picked up in the second half when was able to run around the midfield with some swift moves that helped the team’s connection between the midfielders and strikers
EMMANUEL BANDA::7/10……
He had a fair game performance, did what is known for and what was expected of him.
FASHION SAKALA:: 7/10…
His individual brilliance helped the team back into the game, shortly after he swapped positions with Lameck Banda. His runs were on point, however, coach Grant has some work to do in reminding the Glasgow Rangers hitmen, that football is teamwork, and not individual glory.
LAMECK BANDA:: 9/10
No comment
PATSON DAKA:: 6/10….
His runs and positioning were on point, but failing to make contact with the ball completely in two separate occasions, when he was put in play by Lameck and Chepeshi’s pass in the first and second half respectively, was disappointing. He however, played a very huge role in attacking defenders, this helped the likes of Lameck and Fashion to have space.
RALLY BWALYA:: 8/10…..
Played only few last minutes of the game, but fitted in very well, brought some creativity in the midfield with his soft turns and passes.
