On 15 July 1973, Zambia met Nigeria in Lusaka in the final qualifying round for the 1974 Cup of Nations. Nigeria took a 20th-minute lead through Iziebige but Chanda equalised in the 31st minute and was brought down for a penalty in the second half which Brighton Sinyangwe converted. In the end, Nigeria were taught a footballing lesson by the mesmerising Zambians as Simon Kaushi and Sinyangwe each scored 2 goals for a 5–1 scoreline. In the return leg, Chanda and Kaushi were once again on the score-sheet as Nigeria edged Zambia 3–2 in Lagos which was enough to see Zambia through to her very first CAN tournament. He scored a fantastic volley when Zambia crushed Morocco 4–0 in a World Cup qualifier in Lusaka in October and won a second Castle Cup with Wanderers.
