Daka’s misjudged landing left him crumpled, clutching at his neck as medical staff rushed over. The images were unsettling, particularly given the force involved, but the outcome proved far kinder than first feared. Hauled to his feet by teammates, Daka was able to see out the remaining minutes as Zambia secured a valuable opening point. Zambia coach Moses Sichone has leaned heavily on him, and with good reason. His international record now stands at 21 goals in 44 appearances, a return that dwarfs his output at club level.
