The Copper Princesses have suffered their second consecutive defeat at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco, falling 2-0 to Japan in their second group stage match
The loss leaves Zambia second from bottom in their group with zero points from two games, having conceded four goals scoring one.Japan top the group with a perfect six points, while Paraguay sit second with three points. Zambia, remain winless after two matches
However, the Copper Princesses’ World Cup hopes remain alive. Zambia could still advance as one of the best third-placed teams or potentially finish second in the group, depending on tonight’s result between New Zealand and Paraguay.
The young Zambian side will wrap up their group campaign against New Zealand on Saturday in what has become a must-win encounter for both teams.
