Defender Frankie Musonda Leads Ayr United to 2-2 Draw and Scores Equalizer, Heading into AFCON with Confidence
In a thrilling encounter on Saturday, Chipolopolo Boys defender Frankie Musonda showcased his leadership skills by captaining Ayr United to a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Dunfermline Athletic. The Scottish Championship side’s comeback, led by Musonda, marked a positive end to the year.
Dunfermline Athletic took an early lead, with Alex Jakubiak scoring two goals in quick succession in the 3rd and 10th minutes. Despite the visitors’ comfortable lead, seasoned midfielder Aiden McGeady managed to pull one back for Ayr United just before halftime, narrowing the deficit to one goal.
In the second half, Frankie Musonda demonstrated his impact on both ends of the pitch by scoring a crucial equalizer in the 63rd minute. Musonda’s goal not only brought Ayr United level but also secured a valuable point for his team. This draw follows Ayr United’s previous 4-4 stalemate against Raith Rovers last week.
With his club duties concluded for the year, Musonda now shifts his focus to the national team. He is set to join the squad in Saudi Arabia, where they will undergo final preparations before the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in January. The tournament holds particular significance for Musonda as he makes his debut on the continental stage, aiming to continue his impressive form and contribute to Zambia’s success.
