Later that year, Chanda scored the goal that sealed Zambia’s progression to CAN 1986 at the expense of Nigeria in Lusaka 1-0. Chanda was by then the vice-captain of Zambia and in Jones Chilengi’s absence, captained the team to a four team tournament in Zaire involving the hosts, Zambia, Egypt and Ivory Coast where Zambia emerged second after two wins and a defeat to Egypt, all by 1-0 score lines.
