What the coaches said
Zimbabwe coach Marian Marinica said:
“I watched Zambia in their first half against Malawi in the semi-final. They are a team with a good structure; they have width and they are very difficult to play against, so to speak.”
Zambia coach Oswald Mutapa said:
“Going into this match, the focus is to be more clinical and take our chances. If we are able to create chances, then it means we can score at any given time. The message to the players is to stay confident and take the opportunities.”
