Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The Under-20 National Football Team took a step back, on the way to the semi-finals of the Cosafa-2022 Cup, by losing this Monday (10), at Somhlolo Stadium, in the city of Manzini, by 0-1 , against its counterpart in Mozambique, at the opening of the aforementioned competition.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Mozambicans’ goal was scored in the 65th minute, by Chaimito, following a corner from the left side, at a time when the palanquinhas were even playing better, with incursions on the wings, especially on the left, where Sima\u0303o and Brito were doing their best. . In fact, Angola barely explored the right side of its attack.<\/p>\n

The defeat does not compromise the aspirations of the national team, which still has the last game of Serie B, against Seychelles to try to be the best second among the three groups. You will have to win by expressive numbers and wait for the accounts of the other groups.<\/p>\n

In the first half, Mozambique entered with a bang and was ready to overcome the Angolan counterpart. With a tight mark, it was creating difficulties for our team that defended well and went on the counterattack.<\/p>\n

The physical corpulence and height of the mambinhas made it difficult for the palanquinhas to play soccer. However, the Mozambicans could not reach the Angolan goal with danger.<\/p>\n

The only real danger in the first half was played by our boys in the 30th minute. In marking a free-kick on the left, Caculo crossed for Brito to head for a tight save by the Mozambican goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Despite the negative result, the National Team created the most goalscoring opportunities, especially in the second half.<\/p>\n

It was worth the timely intervention of the Mozambican goalkeeper Aca\u0301cio who saved many balls with a goal seal. In fact, the difference was even in this item: Mozambique scored and Angola did not.<\/p>\n

With the victory, Mozambique leads with six points, followed by Angola and Lesotho with three. Already eliminated, in fourth place is the Seychelles that, yesterday, lost, by 1-0, with Lesotho.<\/p>\n

Also, yesterday, for Group C, South Africa beat Namibia 5-2 and Comoros defeated Malawi 2-0.<\/p>\n

Mozambican Chamito leads the list of the best scorers of the race<\/b><\/p>\n

The Mozambican Chamito Alfandega, with three goals, leads the list of the best scorers of the 28th edition of the COSAFA Cup in Under-20 football, which takes place in Eswatini, since the 7th of the current year. The Mambinhas forward scored in the victories over Seychelles (2) and with the Angola team (1), in the first and second rounds of Group B.<\/p>\n

The Angolan Dioge\u0301nes Ina\u0301cio, from Clube Desportivo 1o de Agosto, with two goals scored, comes in second place on the list. The Palanquinhas forward scored both goals in the victory (5-0) over Lesotho in the first round of Group B of the competition.<\/p>\n

With two goals scored are also Rickson Ng’ambi (Zambia), Djwa Ramos (Mozambique), Denio Munhave (Mozambique) and Oshwin Andries (South Africa).<\/p>\n

The list also includes Chipyoka Songa (Zambia), Nonofo Mosweunyane (Botswana), Mayibongwe Mabuza (Eswatini), Vincent Mkandawire (Malawi), Chifundo Mphasi (Malawi), Danilson Makokisa (Angola), Isaac Vidal (Angola), Anto\u0301nio Lopes (Angola), Anto\u0301nio Sumbane (Mozambique), Glen Younousse (Comoros), Botshelo Motsheja (Botswana), Emmanuel Mukosha (Zambia), Lombe Mutale (Zambia), Yakine Said (Comoros), Samuel Betombo (Comoros), Neo Maieane (Lesotho) ), Relebohile Ratomo (South Africa), Luke Daniels (South Africa), Lawrence Doeseb (Namibia) and Alberto Van Wyk (Namibia), with one goal each.<\/p>\n
