ZERO SHOTS ON TARGET! 😱 Zambia’s offensive nightmare against Comoros!

The Mohamed V Stadium set the stage for a high-stakes Group Stage clash in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Zambia and Comoros faced off in a match defined by tactical discipline and a frustrating lack of clinical finishing. While the atmosphere was electric, the scoreboard remained frozen in a stalemate that leaves both teams searching for answers in the final third.

Match Report

It was a night of “what ifs” for the Chipolopolo. Despite creating numerous openings, Zambia’s offensive inefficiency was staggering, failing to register a single shot on target out of 10 attempts. The frustration was visible on the pitch as Dominic Chanda and Jack Lahne picked up yellow cards in a desperate attempt to assert dominance in a game that slipped through their fingers.

Comoros controlled the tempo for large periods, boasting nearly 53% possession. Their technical buildup was superior, yet they struggled to translate territorial dominance into clear-cut chances. With only one shot on target throughout the entire 90 minutes, the Coelacanths played it safe, ensuring they didn’t leave Casablanca empty-handed in this tactical grind.

Man of the Match

The standout performer was the Comoros defensive unit. Their organization and discipline forced Zambia into low-quality shots from distance. By neutralizing Zambia’s pace and power, they secured a vital clean sheet that could prove decisive in the final group standings.

Did You Know?

In a bizarre statistical anomaly, Zambia managed 10 total shots but 0 on target. It is rare in international tournament football to see a team reach double digits in attempts without testing the opposition goalkeeper even once.

Conclusion

A 0-0 draw that keeps the group wide open but highlights the work needed for both nations. Zambia must find their shooting boots, while Comoros will look to turn their possession into goals. The road to AFCON glory remains a steep climb for these two sides!
