The Zambia Women National Team made a strong start at the 2018 Africa Women Championship with a 5-0 drubbing of Equatorial Guinea.
With the Chipolopolo dumped out of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations by Mozambique earlier in the day, the Copper Queens compensated for the grief with a five star performance.
Grace started the ball rolling with a wonderfully struck free-kick in the sixth minute before Ireene Lungu cheekily chipped in another set piece.
Pacey striker Rachael Kundanaji made sure of the full points with a brace in the 57th and 87th minute.
The pint-sized Mary Mwakapila completed the rout with a fifth goal to ensure Zambia tops the group that has South Africa, Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea.
Zambia next play Nigeria on Tuesday and will welcome star striker and skipper Barbara Banda who was suspended after accumulating two yellow cards during the qualifiers.
South Africa stunned defending champions Nigeria with a 1-0 win in the other Group B match.

Not wht these so called bull’s did in Mozambique, useless together with the so called Sven….we don’t want him….let him go…glhe is just worsting our money for nothing….. The former coarch, the one in Cameroon (Leonard) did a victorious move tht we even won the cup but this sven or seven I don’t know,,, all about him is laziness, useless coach…. We are proud of you ba SHIPOLOPOLO….
