The Copper Queens of Zambia are through to their second consecutive Olympics Games’ Football Competition after switching a 2-1 home loss to a 2-0 win over Morocco on Tuesday April 9.
Two important goals from the Copper Queens captain, Barbra Banda guaranteed that Zambia go through after a brazen start.
Banda gave the Zambians the lead not long before the break in the 40th minute which sprung hope into the guests against an exceptionally vivacious Morocco side.
Needing only a goal to book their ticket to Paris, Zambia sent more players forward and stuck the Moroccans into their own half who ultimately committed an error through a hand-ball by Najat Badri for the ref to call for a penalty shoot.
Again, it was the captain Banda who moved forward to get the second and winning goal that sent the Zambians to their second Olympics competition in progression.
With this being their second progressive appearance, the Copper Queens will be hoping to improve on their performance than the Tokyo 2020 edition were they were disposed of in the first round of the competition.
The Zambians gave their Paris 2024 Olympic qualification chances a massive boost when they beat Ghana in Accra with a slim 1-0 victory on Friday, 23 February.
