Sierra Leone's endeavors to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations have encountered a substantial setback as a result of Zambia's unexpected 1-0 victory against Ivory Coast on Friday.
Zambia's triumph has cemented their position in the tournament, presenting Sierra Leone with a formidable challenge in their concluding group stage encounter against Zambia on Tuesday.
With Zambia having already secured qualification, the forthcoming match will be perceived as a mere formality.
