The Young Zebras face a mammoth task to qualify for this year's All Africa Games (AAG) after the 2-0 loss to hosts South Africa in the first leg at Olen Park in Potchefstroom on Sunday night.

The win puts the Amaglug-glug in pole position to qualify and if their display over the weekend is anything to go by, the Young Zebras need outside intervention to cruise through. In the opening 20 minutes, the South Africans attacked from all quarters forcing the Young Zebras to concede a number of corners. 

With Lebohang Mokoena, Mkhanyiseli Siwahla and Sibusiso Hadebe on song, the Botswana defence was found wanting on several occasions. Inspired by their fans, it was clear that Amaglug-glug would score anytime. Mokoena missed an opportunity when his header came off the upright with Botswana goalkeeper Itumeleng Selapa well beaten.
   Selapa who is standing in for injured Noah Maposa seemed lost in the opening minutes but regained confidence with time. Selapa made a good save midway through the opening half from a free-kick.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
