In a post match interview, Banda, who controversially missed the Africa Cup, said it was pleasing to see Zambian start the COSAFA Cup with a win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to come back with three points like we did. The team is ok, we played very well. It is not that we were perfect in the game, we still have to go back to our drawing board and see where we were lacking and some mistakes we made,\u201d Banda said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a woman of the match, it was not, but I think the hard work and the team spirit that we had helped that is why I am dedicating the award to the team because on my own I was not going to do it. So I have to continue working hard with the team and get more awards if everything goes well. My main target as a striker is to score many goals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Shepolopolo\u2019s next match will be against Lesotho on 4 September. Lesotho is topping Group B on goals after thumping Eswatini 3-0 in the group opener earlier on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
