Thursday December 12, 2013
CECAFA Cup 3rd Place Play Off
Zambia Vs Tanzania – 2pm @ Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi
Following Zambia and Tanzania losses to Sudan (2-1) and hosts Kenya (1-0) respectively in the semi-finals of the GOtv Cecafa Cup 2013, the two return to action on Thursday 12 afternoon in a battle for third place.
Besides playing for pride, a cash prize worth $ 10,000 will be awaiting for whoever comes out on top in this encounter which is a repeat of their opening day of the campaign.
The two sides drew 1-1 on the opening day of the tournament with Zambia scoring first through Ronald Kampamba before Tanzania hit an equaliser thanks to Said Moradi.
Both Coaches are expected to ring changes from the regular first teams to offer opportunity to players who have had less playing time in the tournament.
Zambia Coach Patrice Beaumelle is expected to hand second choice goalie Joshua Titima his second start of the tournament and a little more changes expected but striker Festus Mbewe (3 goals) is expected to start as he chases the golden boot.
Like Beaumelle, Tanzania Coach Kim Poulsen is expected to make a few changes with Haruna Chanogo expected to start in attack.
Yanga SC midfielder who has been used as a substitute in most of the games is also expected to start in the centre of the pack along with Frank Raymond Domayo.
Tanzania will need to avoid a repeat of last year’s third place play off demon when they were beaten on penalties by neighbours Zanzibar.
