Women's Under-17 soccer side crash out

The women's Under-17 soccer team have crashed out of the World Cup qualifiers after losing 7-1 on aggregate to Zambia. Botswana lost their second game 2-0 in Lusaka on Saturday after being humiliated 5-1 in Gaborone a fortnight ago.

Despite the huge margin loss, coach Jacqueline Sefemo was impressed by her girl's performance. Sefemo said her team's tactical and technical awareness has improved compared to the last time they took part in the same qualifiers.

She described their weekend match as fair, saying her team had an upper hand, but were let down by poor finishing.
