SOUTH Africa will meet Zambia in the Cosafa Cup under-20 final at Vosloorus Stadium in Johannesburg on Friday after beating Zimbabwe 4-1 in Thursday’s semi-final.
Zambia pipped Lesotho 2-0 to gain entrance to the final. The South Africans were too strong on Thursday, and scored three goals within five minutes in the second half.
Benedict Vilakazi scored the first goal in the 27th minute, but the blitz started after the break when Gareth Devine made it 2-0 and Vilikazi scored within three minutes.
Two minutes later, in the 60th minute, Asande Ngobese put the matter beyond any doubt.
The Zimbabweans got a consolation goal through Arnold Matsika in the 73rd minute.
Meanwhile, Lesotho were no real match for Zambia in their match, and there was little left in the match once Njofwa Chaswe and Solomon Banda scored their goals.
