Zambian winger, Augustine Mulenga, lost his twin daughter, on Saturday, October 8th, while he was playing against the Super Eagels of Nigeria, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.

Augustine scored a goal, but it was disallowed by the referee. Officials knew the winger lost a daughter but could not tell him because he offered hope in helping his country qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Mulenga was only told about the sad news after the match. The player is pictured below, being comforted on arrival from Nigeria.
The little girl has been buried.
