Zambia's final group game of the FIFA Women's World Cup against Costa Rica will be a tough encounter, says coach Bruce Mwape. Both teams have been eliminated from the tournament after losing their two opening group games, and the match will be a formality for both sides. However, Mwape says that his team is determined to finish on a positive note. "Tomorrow's game won't be easy for one obvious reason, we are playing a team that has not won any game in our group just like us," he said. "I'm sure the other team (Costa Rica) also wants to get positive results. But for all of us, we want maximum points. I feel we need to do well and we want to finish on a good note." Lushomo Mweemba and Evarine Katongo have both recovered from the knocks they suffered in the game against Spain, with the goalkeeper Cathrine Musonda also back from suspension and available for selection. Both teams haven't scored any goals in the tournament and they will be hoping tomorrow will be their day to score. The match will take place on Monday, July 31, at FMG Stadium in Waikato, New Zealand.
