Veteran midfielder Isaac Chansa was the hero, scoring the only goal to help Zambia to a lone goal victory over Zimbabwe in their Group D clash on Tuesday in Rubavu.
Chansa scored on 53 minutes to give the Chipolopolo a winning start to their campaign on their second appearance at the tournament designed exclusively for footballers playing in their domestic leagues.
Captain Christopher Katongo, who led Zambia to win their only Africa Cup of Nations title in 2012, brought his rich experience to bear on the team just as Chansa also a member of the victorious team.
Zimbabwe, making a record fourth appearance just as DR Congo thus failed to break the jinx of not having won an opening match at the CHAN competition.
