Zambian Midfielder Clatous Chota Chama Helps Simba SC Secure First CAF Champions League Victory

Zambian midfielder Clatous Chota Chama played a crucial role in Simba SC’s historic first victory in the CAF Champions League Group B. Simba SC secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca on Wednesday.

Chama, who earned a starting spot in the midfield, contributed significantly to the team’s success. The home side secured three points with a quick brace from Essomba Onana. Onana scored in the 36th minute and doubled the lead just two minutes later, leading Simba to victory.

Chama showcased an impressive performance, playing for 61 minutes before being substituted. The win elevates Simba to second place in the Group B standings, trailing Asec Mimosa by five points. Asec Mimosa has already secured qualification for the knockout stage with two games remaining.

Simba’s next challenge will be against Galaxy of Botswana. A victory in that match, along with Wydad Casablanca failing to secure maximum points against Asec Mimosa, could see the Tanzanian giants qualify for the Champions League knockout phase. The success reflects the positive impact of Zambian players on the continental stage.
