Zambian player, Augustine Mulenga reportedly lost his daughter while he was playing against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Akwa Ibom on Saturday 7, 2017.

The Zambian observer reported that the officials knew that Mulenga’s daughter was dead but they did not want to inform the Chipolopolo winger.

The prolific midfielder was only told about the sad news after the game.

Mulenga scored in the 22nd minute of the game but his goal was disallowed by the referee.

Both countries had clashed on Saturday at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in a 2018 World Cup qualifying match in Akwa Ibom State on Saturday.
