Zimbabwe eject Shepolopolo from Rio 2016 qualifiers

Share

Shepolopolo are out of the 2016 Rio Olympics qualifiers after losing 1-0 to Zimbabwe in the return match of the second round tie played in Harare on Sunday.

The Mighty Warriors of Zimbabwe advanced to the next stage at the expence of the Zambia women team on away goal rule as the two teams were tied 2-2 on aggregate.

Zambia beat Zimbabwe 2-1 in the first leg match played at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka last week.

At Rufaro Stadium, Festus Muzogoni registered the only goal that propelled Zimbabwe to the third round of the qualifying campaign for the Rio Olympics.

This is a sweet revenge for the Zimbabwean side that was eliminated by Zambia from the 2014 Africa Women Championship qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Shepolopolo earlier this year failed to qualify for the 2015 All Africa Games after they were eliminated by Tanzania in the second round.
