Zambia leads Togo 1-0 at halftime in their Matchday 2 fixture of the AFCON 2027 qualifiers. The Chipolopolo took an early lead thanks to A. Kangwanda, who scored in the second minute.
Despite this difficult start, Togo’s players did not give up and tried to get back into the game. Togo gradually regained some attacking momentum, but the Zambian defense withstood their various attempts.
The match was also interrupted for about 20 minutes due to a power outage at the stadium. Play resumed, but Zambia held onto their lead going into the break. Togo will now need to step up the pace in the second half to turn the match around.
