Zambia will look to get their Cosafa Cup title defence back on track when they face Comoros at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban on Sunday afternoon.
Kick-off is at 3pm CAT (SA, GMT+2)
The Copper Bullets went unbeaten throughout the tournament in 2022 to lift the trophy for the sixth time, but opened their group B campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Malawi on Thursday.
Moses Sichone's side fell behind to an unfortunate own-goal from Aaron Katebe on 17 minutes and they never really recovered from the early setback as the Flames took the game to them.
Sichone took a youthful squad to South Africa and has challenged them to correct their mistakes after admitting a few of the players found the going tough against their neighbours.
"It's a tough evening for us, we wanted to start the tournament on a good note but unfortunately we lost the game," the Chipolopolo coach said.
"We just need to work on the mistakes that we made today (Thursday). I have been saying we have got a lot of young players who are trying to gain a bit of experience and some of them did not do well.
"We need to encourage the boys. We cannot always win games... some [of the players] are still young and this is a way we have to build them up.
"The first games are always important, when you win the first game you get the confidence in the tournament. The result didn't go as planned, we just have to forget about this game and focus on the next game."
The Coelacanths lead the way in their group after kicking off proceedings with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Seychelles on Thursday.
It was their biggest win in the regional competition to date and the Indian Ocean islanders have put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages for only the second time in six attempts.
Comoros finished top of group A in the 2019 edition before being eliminated by Zimbabwe in the quarterfinals following a 2-0 loss.
