Afghanistan v Zambia
Afghanistan (5) v Zambia (7)
The contest for the third and fourth place of the Cape Town Trophy at the Homeless Would Cup 2007, one of the prices on offer at this tournament, was high paced and exciting, especially during the first half.
The two teams were keen on outdoing each other and show creativity in doing so. It was Afghanistan which scored the first two goals and had the lead for a couple minutes until Zambia managed to bag one goal towards the end of the first half and one more a few seconds to the end.
The African team however was more in control in the second half and managed to keep control of the ball scoring for the first time within the first minute and extending its lead further and further.
Afghanista put on a good show bagging two goals in the process, but was ultimately beated by a more skilful team. Good sport and a treat to watch.
