Zambia claim regional U20 crown in Eswatini

Record title-holders Zambia claimed their 12th regional trophy with a 1-0 victory over defending champions Mozambique in the final of the TotalEnergies U20 AFCON Egypt 2023 | COSAFA Qualifier in Eswatini on Sunday.

Both teams had already qualified for the continental finals next year and remain on course for a place in the 2023 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Indonesia. They will need to finish in the top four in Egypt to secure their place.

The only goal of the game was scored by Zambian forward Kingston Mutandwa, who bundled the ball home after 35 minutes to give Young Chipolopolo a lead they deserved.
They were able to hold on for the rest of the match with some ease and denied Mozambique back-to-back titles under their coach Dario Monteiro.

Zambia were worthy winners of the competition having only conceded a single goal in their five matches in Eswatini, which came in the semifinal draw with Angola that was won on penalties.

South Africa took home the bronze medal after a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory over nine-man Angola, with the teams having played to a 1-1 draw in the third-place play-off.

The South Africans took the lead as Mohau Nkota drilled the ball into the net on the angle, but that joy was short-lived when Angola equalised soon afterwards.

João De Brito went on a mazy run down the left-hand side and his cross was headed home at close-range by Danilson Makokisa, who took his tally to five goals in the competition and claimed the Golden Boot.

Neither side could find a winner, but Angola finished the game with nine players after Domilson Kipanda received two yellow cards, and goalkeeper Deo Yoka a straight red.
Zambia star Charles Mumba was named Player of the Tournament for his outstanding displays in leading his side to the title, while his teammate, goalkeeper Jeban Tembo, won the Golden Glove. The Fair Play award went to South Africa.
