Zambia was the first team through to the African Cup of Nations semifinals after a clinical 3-0 win over struggling 10-man Sudan on Saturday. Defender Stophira Sunzu headed in from a free kick in the 15th minute and Christopher Katongo made it 2-0 in the 66th when he scored from the rebound after his penalty was saved. Substitute James Chamanga sealed Zambia s dominance in the 86th with a curling shot from the edge of the area. Sudan s hopes of an upset at a near-deserted Estadio de Bata slipped away when defender Saifeldin Ali Idris was sent off in the 65th for a reckless foul on Rainford Kalaba that led to Katongo s spot kick. Zambia will play the winner of Sunday s Ghana-Tunisia game in the semis back in Bata on Wednesday.
