Tanzania’s Taifa Stars displayed a masterclass in tactics and determination to secure a vital 1-0 victory over Zambia in a tightly contested CAF 2026 World Cup qualifier.
The win was a team effort – a perfectly placed fifth-minute goal by Waziri Junior, expertly assisted by Mudathir Yahya, secured the three crucial points.
Coach Hemed Suleiman “Morocco” praised his team’s resilience, especially considering Zambia’s favored position.
This impressive performance was not only rewarded with a 100 million shilling bonus but also puts Tanzania in a strong position for World Cup qualification.
Currently, they hold the second-place spot in Group E, trailing only the mighty Atlas Lions of Morocco.
