SAD GOODBYE FOR BWALYA, ZAMBIA

FORMER African Footballer of the Year Kalusha Bwalya bade farewell to the Nations Cup after Zambia drew 2-2 with Senegal in Group C on Tuesday and were eliminated. Senegal went through as runners-up while Egypt finished on top having maintained their 100% record coming from 2-0 down to beat Burkina Faso 4-2 in Kano.

Bwalya announced his retirement after snatching a point for Chipolopolo with a late goal from the penalty spot. Abdoulaye Mbaye edged Senegal ahead for the second time with 10 minutes left.
