In a lively clash of flip-flops and fancy footwork, a squad of unexpected Zambian sensations, led by mastermind Reuben Kamanga, left the beach sands buzzing. Picture this: Journalists turned soccer maestros, skillfully navigating the sandy battleground, outshining their Moroccan counterparts who, despite the assistance of AFCON hosts Ivory Coast, found themselves puzzled by the unexpected prowess of the Zambian beach warriors, ultimately losing 4-3. The plot thickened as National Youth Development Council (NYDC) Media officer Tobias Phiri, channeling his inner Pelé, opened the scoring for Zambia after an assist from The Mast Newspapers Reporter Darious Kapembwa, setting up the goal-scoring spectacle. Morocco, aiming to rain on the parade, drew level, but Kamanga, not content with a mere administrative hat-trick, restored Zambia's lead with a goal inspired by a cross from the glamorous crown TV reporter Victoria Linosi. Like a rollercoaster of a soccer match, Morocco equalized again, only to face the determination of Nchimunya Ngandu of Diamond TV, who delivered a pass to Kamanga, turning him into a goal-scoring machine for his brace. Morocco, in their beach attire, drew level once more, setting the stage for the grand finale. Sure, Morocco managed to equalize thrice, but Kamanga's final goal was like a full moon rising over the Atlantic . The Zambian journalists are now eagerly anticipating Wednesday's clash, wondering if their brilliance can be replicated by the national team on the grand stage of the Africa Cup of Nations when they face Morocco. In a match where a mere draw would secure their spot in the last 16 of the competition.
