The Chipolopolo suffered their third consecutive defeat in the tournament, going down 3-1 to Morocco, having earlier lost 2-0 to the Democratic Republic of Congo and 2-1 to Angola.

Morocco’s goals came from Mohammed Hrimat in the 45+2nd minute, Ousama Lamloui in the 66th, and Sabir Bougrine in the 90+4th minute. Kabaso Chongo had pulled one back for Zambia in the 69th minute, while Happy Nsiku saw a goal disallowed.
