Zambia Women 3-0 Namibia Women: Copper Queens power to commanding first-leg win

Zambia Women made a resounding statement in their CAF Women's African Cup of Nations qualifier on 26 October 2025, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Namibia Women. The Copper Queens dominated from start to finish, taking a firm grip on the tie and moving to the brink of qualification for the continental finals.

Match overview

The contest was effectively decided inside the opening 30 minutes as Zambia's famed attacking speed tore Namibia's defence apart. Star forward Barbra Banda opened the scoring with a clinical finish after latching onto a through-ball, and the hosts doubled their advantage shortly after when a composed team move ended with Racheal Kundananji slotting home from the edge of the box.

Namibia struggled to gain any foothold in the match. Zambia's high press forced repeated turnovers in dangerous areas, and the Copper Queens' physicality in midfield meant Namibia rarely enjoyed sustained possession. The miss of the match belong to Zambia as well, with Banda striking the crossbar from 18 yards early in the second half.

The scoring was completed late on when substitute Avell Chitundu came off the bench to score a well-taken third goal, sealing a result that flatters Namibia only in that it was not heavier.

How Zambia won it

Relentless tempo: Zambia pressed Namibia high from the first whistle, not allowing them time to settle.
Wide overloads: Kundananji and Banda continually isolated Namibia's full-backs, creating 1-on-1 opportunities.
Defensive discipline: When Namibia did break forward, Zambia's centre-back pairing of Esther Siamfuko and Agness Musase swept up calmly, recording a clean sheet with relative ease.

The result puts Zambia in a commanding position ahead of the second leg. Namibia now face a near-impossible task, needing to score at least three unanswered goals away from home to level the aggregate. Zambia's confidence will be sky-high as they continue their quest to reach the Women's Africa Cup of Nations and build on their recent reputation as one of Africa's most exciting teams.
