Copper Queens Exit The FIFA Women’s World Cup With Their Heads High As They Punish Costa Rica
The Copper Queens have exited the FIFA Women’s cup in style after punishing Costa Rica on their final group stage game which has ended in a 3 to 1 victory, after suffering a all 5 nil 2 games played against Spain & Japan respectively.
Copper Queens have also broken records, leaving the remaining teams with their jaws dropped as 2 major records were recorded at the game. The first being by Lushomo Mweemba who scored the fastest goal at the tournament in just 3′ minutes when she headed home a free header to give Zambia the first ever goal at the tournament
Barbra Banda had a signature record breaking, scoring the 1,000 goal of the tournament in the 31st minutes giving Zambia a 2 goal lead before the break, converting from the spot.
Costa Rica tried to fight back , in the 47th minute shortly after the break when Herrera pulled one back giving the Copper Queens a wake up call.
The Zambian side held on till Kundananji buried a goal in the added time to seal the deal. As the girls head back home, those that are left have had a feel of what they are capable of. Congratulations to our girls.
