Zambia will battle Burundi for a place in next year’s 2019 U20 AFCON finals in Niger.

Burundi ,who have one tournament appearance in 1995, booked their date against the defending U20 AFCON champions following a shock 2-0 away victory over Sudan in Omdurman on Sunday night.

Two late goals from Shaka Bienvenue and substitute Titi Mavugo in the 82nd and 87th minutes respectively handed Burundi its passage to the last qualifying round.

Burundi advanced to July’s final qualifying stage 3-1 on aggregate following a 1-1 home draw on May 12 in Bujumbura.

Zambia will host Burundi in the first leg on July 14 and travel to Bujumbura for the decider on July 20.

Burundi heads into July’s date against Zambia unbeaten from their last four games.

They kicked off the qualifiers in April in the preliminary round with a 2-0 away win over Ethiopia and 1-0 victory at home to book their date against Sudan who enjoyed a first round bye .
