Zambia are champions again

Zambia put on a splendid show in front of their FA President Kalusha Balywa to defend their Metropolitan COSAFA under-20 title by beating Namibia 4-1 here yesterday.

Zambia found the opener on the 13th minute when tournament top goal scorer Chakwa Lungu squeezed in a powerful low drive from a tight angle giving Namibian goal minder, Colin Ndjai, no chance. Lungu increased his tally four minutes later finishing with a beautiful low header. The Namibians, who were making their maiden appearance in the cup final, did their all to get back into the groove but often found it difficult to penetrate the rock-solid Zambian rearguard.
