Young Zebras eye semi-final berth

The Young Zebras task in the Metropolitan COSAFA Under-20 duel against Swaziland this afternoon is simple.

They have to win by three clear goals to secure a berth in the semis.  After the Young Zebras blew a golden opportunity to grab all three points at the UB Stadium against Mozambique, they return to the field to face the Swazis in Molepolole at 4:30pm. 

Mozambique turned the screws on the Young Zebras on Sunday, dispatching Swaziland 3-1, which meant the home side has to win by three clear goals to progress.  The win gave Mozambique pole position with four points while Swaziland were eliminated after just one game.  The other team in Group A, Comoros withdrew just before the tournament.  Botswana has a team capable of beating Swaziland, if only the strikers can take their shooting boots to the Molepolole Sports Complex. During the opening match against Mozambique, the Young  Zebras tormented fans with glaring misses and the coach, Odirile 'China' Matlhaku, must rectify the mistakes.
