Zambia secured a 1–0 victory over Tanzania in a FIFA World Cup qualification match on 8 October, claiming three crucial points in Group E despite neither side registering a shot on target. Tanzania lined up in a 4–4–2 formation but failed to trouble Zambia's defence, while the visitors operated from a 4–1–4–1 setup designed to control the midfield and exploit set-piece opportunities. The absence of recorded shots on target from both teams underscores a cagey, defensive encounter where Zambia's solitary goal proved decisive in a low-intensity affair. With no goalscorer data available, the match outcome hinged on a single moment of clinical finishing that separated the two sides. Zambia's narrow win keeps their qualification hopes alive in a competitive group.
