FULL-TIME: Zambia 2-0 Malawi – Copper Queens Secure First Friendly Win Under Häuptle
In a thrilling international friendly, the Zambia Women’s National Team, the Copper Queens, have recorded a 2-0 victory over Malawi. The match, which served as the first of two friendlies against Malawi, was marked by decisive moments that set the tone for Coach Nora Häuptle’s tenure.
Avell Chitundu opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a well-placed finish that caught the Malawi defense off guard. This early goal provided Zambia with the momentum needed to control the game. However, the first half was not without its missed opportunities—Racheal Nachula had a penalty chance that could have further increased the lead but failed to convert.
Despite the setback, the Copper Queens maintained their composure and continued to press forward. The breakthrough came in the 79th minute when Racheal Kundananji doubled Zambia’s advantage with a clinical finish, sealing the 2-0 victory. The win marks the very first triumph for Coach Nora Häuptle since taking charge, and it underscores her commitment to building a winning mentality in the squad.
This result not only boosts the team’s confidence but also serves as a crucial preparation step as they gear up for more high-stakes action. The Copper Queens will meet Malawi again on Tuesday at 15:00 at the REIZ Arena, where they will look to build on this positive start and refine their tactics further ahead of upcoming tournaments.
