Share

Zambia beat Lesotho 3-2 in the Cosafa Cup Plate semifinal to reach the final for the 5th and 6th place playoff at Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek on Tuesday.

Charles Zulu, Spencer Sautu and Paul Katema were on target for Zambia.

Katema put Zambia ahead in the 14th minute before Phafa Tsosane made sure the two sides went 1-1 into the break with the equalizer on the stroke of halftime.

Lesotho then took the lead in the 54th minute through Basia Makepe but Spencer Sautu restored parity two minutes later.

Zulu clinched the winner in the 63rd minute to send Zambia through to the Plate final on June 24 in Windhoek.

Zambia will face either hosts Namibia or Mozambique in the final who were in action in the late kickoff at the same venue on Tuesday.
