Bafana Bafana are out of the Cosafa Cup as they lost 2-1 to Zambia at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Friday. | Sport24news
After a remarkable comeback from being a goal down, the Copper Bullets, who boast an impressive six Cosafa titles, secured their spot in the final against Lesotho on Sunday .
Bafana were undoubtedly favourites in front of their home crowd, and their cadence in the opening minutes showed just that, putting together a string of decent plays before Zambia found a rhythm of their own. Zambia suffered only one defeat in Group B to Malawi before earning six points in victories against Comoros and Seychelles, which resulted in Chipolopolo advancing to the semi-finals on the next best-placed team.
Golden Mashata scored the equaliser with a close-range tap-in as at least four Bafana shirts failed to clear the danger. This turn of events silenced the home crowd’s cheers, while the jubilant celebrations of the Zambian team echoed through the stadium. A stunning 18-yard free kick from Albert Kangwanda curled into the top left corner giving goalkeeper Olwethu Mzimela no chance as he did not attempt to dive to stop the strike.
