It was another humiliating defeat for the Copper Queens of Zambia who were hammered 5-0 by Spain in Group C of the 2023 women’s World Cup on Wednesday.
A brace from Alba Redondo and Jennifer Hermoso and a solitary strike by Teresa Abelleira made it back-to-back defeats for Zambia.
In their first game against 2011 World Cup champions Japan, the Zambians also lost 5-0.
Abelleira gave Spain the lead in the 9th minute before Hermoso doubled their lead on 13 minutes.
Redondo added the third goal in the 69th minute while Hermoso scored the fourth just a minute later.
With five minutes left Redondo made it five to complete the rout.
Meanwhile, the group other game saw Japan beat Costa Rica 2-0.

With what Ireland is playing against Canada, it looks to me like we were just over respectful of Canada, we should have taken that game to them as they are very beatable. Are we hoping to beat Ireland? This will be a very tough call!

Zambia is a disgrace to African women football. Collecting 11 goals in two matches is enough to laugh about where these African women came from.
It’s 10 actually
Zambia just dey collect left, right, center.
10 goals conceded in 2 games.
One more game against Costa Rica. They should try and make a decent contest out of that.
Epele ooo! Ema fara le ooo!
Thats what happens when you do regional qualifications and weed out the best teams from the continent because of CAF politics. Ghana and ivory coast are far better than lousy Morocco and Zambia. I hope CAF has learnt some lessons.
