Copper Bullets coach Avram Grant believes Zambia deserved a point against Niger in a Group E FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifier.
The Southern Africa giants suffered a 2-1 shock defeat to Niger at Morocco’s Stade de Marrakech on Tuesday.
The 68 year old has also congratulated the West Africans.
“We didn’t play our normal game, even though I think we deserved a draw but there is no deserving in football, they scored two goals and we scored one,” he said
“They fought very well, congratulations to them.
Grant’s unbeaten record in competitive matches since he took over in December 2022 ended on Tuesday.
“It’s the first time the team is losing under me, so the most important thing is to recover and when we recover we will have a good team.”
