Zambia Women Team interim coach Florence Mwila has saluted her team for thumping Eswatini 5-0 in the two sides opening 2021 COSAFA Women’s Championship match in South Africa.
Shepolopolo are topping Group C on three points following Namibia’s goalless draw with guests Uganda in the earlier group match on Thursday.
Mwila said scoring earlier gave Zambia an edge over Eswatini.
“You know the first game is always important so we needed to get goals. And once you score an early goal it gives you the morale and the team spirit to start moving,” Mwila told COSAFA TV.
“You know once you score early it puts pressure on the opponents,” she said.
Zambia’s next Group C match is against Namibia on October 3.
“We are here to go all the way to the final as gold medalists,” Mwila said.
