In a thrilling encounter at the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, Zambia secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tanzania, with a late Patson Daka header denying the Taifa Stars their first-ever AFCON win.
Tanzania took an early lead in the first half, with Simon Msuva finding the net in the 11th minute, assisted by Mbwana Samatta.
Zambia faced a setback when captain Roderick Kabwe received a second yellow card just before halftime, reducing them to 10 men.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Chipolopolo displayed resilience, and Patson Daka's efforts after the restart kept the pressure on Tanzania.
The dramatic turn of events culminated in the 88th-minute equalizer, as Daka headed in a perfectly delivered corner from Clatous Chama.
The draw leaves Tanzania at the bottom of Group F, setting the stage for a crucial final game against DR Congo.
Zambia, currently in the third position, looks to secure a victory against Morocco in their upcoming match to advance to the knockout stage after this intense stalemate.
