Namibia and Zimbabwe make Zambia wait

Share

Zambia will have to wait a little longer to know their quarterfinal opponents at the 2015 Cosafa Castle Cup.

Honour Janza will only know on May 21 whether it will be Namibia or Zimbabwe they face in Sunday’s quarterfinals in Rustenburg.

Zimbabwe beat Seychelles 1-0 on Tuesday to stay at the top of Group A on maximum 6 points.

However, Zimbabwe’s hopes of qualifying with a game in hand were dashed when Namibia stayed in the hunt with a 2-0 win over Mauritius in the late kickoff on match day two at the ongoing Cosafa Cup in South Africa.

Talent Chawapiwa left footed strike handed Zimbabwe the win while Namibia had a Benson Shilongo brace via a 4th minute penalty and his second goal in the 65th to thank for the win.

Namibia’s win leaves them two points behind Zimbabwe with all to play for in both sides’ final Group A match on Thursday.

Meanwhile, defending champions Zambia fly to South Africa on Wednesday morning to join the competition after enjoying a preliminary group stage bye.
