The Copper Queens of Zambia put on a dazzling display of attacking football as they thrashed Morocco 6-2 in their second and final friendly match on Tuesday evening. Captain Barbra Banda and Rachel Kundananji both scored hat-tricks. Morocco managed to score two consolation goals through Sakina Ouzraoui and Rosella Ayane. Coach Bruce Mwape made seven changes to the team that started the first friendly last Friday, which Zambia won 2-0. Morocco also made two changes to their starting line-up. Zambia dominated the match from start to finish, and the result was a fitting end to a successful two-match series against Morocco. Both Zambia and Morocco were using the two friendlies to prepare for the upcoming 2024 Olympic Qualifiers matches, with Morocco playing Namibia and Zambia playing Mali. Coach Bruce Mwape also wanted to use the two friendlies to test his local players for the COSAFA tournament, which is set for October 4-15 in South Africa. The result was a significant improvement on the Copper Queens' performance in the first friendly, and it showed that they are in good form ahead of the important tournaments that lie ahead. The Copper Queens will be hoping to carry their momentum into the Olympic Qualifiers and the COSAFA tournament.
