The Coach of Zambia’s national football team, Wedson Nyirenda is confident that his team will qualify for the Russia 2018 World Cup despite three points behind Super Eagles with two rounds left to play.
A goal from Patson Daka in the 67th minute secured a 1-0 win for the Zambians against Algeria at Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui, Constantine on Tuesday night.
”It is clear that tonight’s success allows us to get closer to Nigeria, which is the leader of the group,” Nyirenda told reporters after Tuesday’s game, according to Le Buteur.
”This victory also allows us to believe in our chances in the race for the qualification at the World Cup.
”We wanted to beat Algeria home and away and that’s what we achieved. ”
He added : ”From now on, we are going to give ourselves a whole lot and think about our next game against Nigeria, to try to qualify.
”Now we are seriously thinking about qualifying at the World Cup.”
Nigeria will qualify for their sixth World Cup if they beat Zambia at home in Uyo on October 7.
