ZAMBIA SUFFER SURPRISE DEFEAT

Zambia have suffered an embarrassing defeat at the East and Central African Senior Challenge Cup in Ethiopia, beaten 3-2 by Burundi.
The recent Cosafa Castle Cup winners went three goal down to their lowly-rated opponents in the opening Group B match at the three-week tournament.
Alain Ndizeye and Aime Nohaboneyo had Burundi two up just after the quarter hour mark and after Ken Kitani had squandered a penalty for the Zambia, Burundi went further ahead after half time with a goal from Suleiman Ndikumana.
Zambia pulled back goals from Rainsford Kalaba in the 61st minute and Dube Phiri three minutes from the end of the game.
Zambia must now beat Zanzibar in their last group game to have any chance of making the quarterfinals.
