Ten-man Zambia stunned Amajita South Africa 6-1 in their opening Cosafa Youth Championship Group B match at Luveve Stadium in Bulawayo.
A Patson Daka hat-trick handed Zambia their biggest win over their regional arch-rivals.
Daka’s hat-trick came in the opening 16 minutes with a shot in the 5th minutes, an 8th minute header and another shot in the 16th minute.
Tsepiso Mahlangu turned the ball into his own net in the 25th minute before Harrison Musonda handed Zambia a 5-0 lead into the break.
Patrick Ngoma added goal number six in the 49th minute before Jonathan Daka was sent-off in the 67th after a foul on Leago Mekgote in the area.
Felix Noge stepped up to successfully to convert the resultant penalty.
Zambia play Namibia in their penultimate Group B match on December 8.
av oways bn impressed by under 17 national team.
Zambian team was not under 20,,, maybe under 35, thats 6-1 is not a normal scoreline,,
Ndobo,A match between Zambia and South Africa will always produce sparks.That under 20 ream is headed to the Under 20 African Championships.
@Ndobo, you think like Edgar Lungu. Bushe naunwamo? How can you refer to Zambia Under 20 yrs of playing, that they look small but they big 35 yrs-old engines inside?
@1.1 Ndobo – Just because you’re under-70 yourself does not mean the boys are not under-20.
Well done.Hopefully it is the under 20 not 30
At whatever level Zambian football has always been better than those that are crying.
i meant to say under 20 national team pliz
thanx
The disowned lads making a point here. Viva boys we need some of u in January for afcon
That is an impressive scoreline. Bloggers support the young lads instead of saying this or that, it is not good.
That aggregates to 5-0. A jubilee figure. Well done boys !
walasa! exactly
Super excellent!
I always wonder where these excellent footballers, like Banda, Ngoma, Njobvu, Daka disappear to at national team level. They are always replaced by Chama, Bwalya, Mutale, Musonda who never scored goals at under 20 or 23 levels. Surprised why senior team is not scoring many goals?
congrats.my appeal is that patson daka should be considered at senior national team for afcon in EQUITORIAL games.he is brillian and can add value to the team.JANZA,THINK TWICE
Kwena iwe Sunrise walitumpa sana mwe! It’s not our fault that Chipata products realise as they gtow up that it’s better to adopt a Bemba name if you want to progress globally.
