Tanzania pulled off a surprise 1-0 away victory over Zambia in a FIFA World Cup CAF qualification match on June 12, 2024. The Taifa Stars executed a perfect game plan to stun the hosts at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium and claim a massive three points. The match's only goal came from a defensive error by Zambia, which was pounced upon by a Tanzanian forward who finished calmly past the goalkeeper. Zambia dominated possession and created numerous chances but were repeatedly denied by a combination of poor finishing and heroic defending from Tanzania. This result is a monumental boost for Tanzania's qualification hopes and a significant disappointment for Zambia, who missed a key opportunity at home.
