Zambia 4 - Lesotho 0

Ndola was the stage as hosts Zambia welcomed Lesotho to town.  A win for Zambia would lift them over Ghana in the standings with two matches left to play.  Zambia found the opening goal through a bicycle kick from Jacob Mulenga (pictured, orange).  That was the only goal of the opening forty-five.

In the second half, Zambia left no doubt as to their superiority.  Chris Katongo scored the second goal on a header.  Mulenga hit a driven shot for the team's third goal, and Collins Mbesuma concluded the scoring off a breakaway finish.  Zambia win 4-0 and eliminate Lesotho from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
