Zambia wins COSAFA under-20 youth championship

By Staff Reporter, Lusaka 
Zambia under-20 national team has won the COSAFA Youth Championship for the 11th time in history. 

The Junior chipolopolo boys bagged their 11th COSAFA title with a deserved 2-1 victory against South Africa at Moruleng Stadium in Rustenberg. 


The win is a massive boost for Zambia ahead of their hosting of the 2017 Africa Under-20 Cup in February where South Africa too will be one of two representatives from the COSAFA zone. 

Kenneth Kalunga put Zambia ahead in the 11th minute after racing through South Africa’s backline to see the latter concede their first goal in the tournament. 

However, South Africa equalized against the run of play in the 41st minute when Kabelo Seriba fired-in the rebound from a set-piece ball that hit the post before he punished Zambia for some poor marking to see the two sides go 1-1 into the break. 

Zambia then camped in South Africa’s area for most of the second half but the hosts held out denying Patson Daka and Fashion Sakala from close range after the hour mark. 

South Africa curved-in in the 85th minute when Boyd Musonda whipped in a sublime volley to seal the win and hand Chambeshi his debut win as Under-20 coach. 

South Africa then gave Zambia a late scare when captain Repo Melepe, header off a free was saved by Mangani Banda.
