In the international friendly between Malawi and Zambia held on March 26, 2024, the data suggests a highly contested match with Zambia emerging as the victorious side, scoring 2 goals to Malawi's 1.

Examining the data further, it was a fairly even match in terms of ball possession and attacking threat. Despite both teams having several shots during the game, Zambia were more efficient on the target, boasting 5 shots on target from 11 total attempts, compared to 4 on target for Malawi from 9 attempts. This slightly elevated accuracy may have contributed significantly to Zambia managing to get one more goal than Malawi.

Goalkeeping also played a pivotal role in the match. The Zambian goalie made more saves than his Malawian counterpart (3 saves to 2), another decisive factor in keeping Zambia ahead.

In terms of set pieces, Zambia outperformed Malawi, with 5 corner kicks to 3. However, they lacked discipline, committing significantly more fouls (12) than Malawi (8), although no yellow or red cards were issued during the match. Fortunately for Zambia, these infringements did not cost them the game.

Despite only making one assist, Malawi still managed to score a goal, which implies a somewhat isolated effort that paid off for them in the first half. However, Zambia was more effective in the second half, with their single goal in the first half and another in the second half, suggesting a consistency in their attacking performance.

Substitutions were utilized more by the Zambian coach with 3 swaps made compared to Malawi's 2, which could point to Zambia's better squad depth or a tactical edge in the match.

While Malawi had more offsides (1), it didn't seem to significantly affect the game's outcome.

Overall, the determined and slightly more accurate Zambian performance prevailed against a competent Malawi side. Different factors such as shots on target, goalkeeping, discipline, and possibly a better second-half strategy played significant roles in this result.
