Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Meanwhile at the Mavuso Stadium, Zambia held a heart-warming tribute to Chipolopolo captain Enock \u2018Computer\u2019 Mwepu at the TotalEnergies U20 AFCON Egypt 2023 COSAFA Qualifier Group A clash against Botswana at Mavuso stadium in Manzini.<\/p>\n

The whole of the U20 technical bench stopped and clapped after 11-minutes on the clock in honour of Chipolopolo captain who dons jersey number 11, but was forced into football retirement because of a hereditary heart condition.<\/p>\n

Prior to the kick-off of their final group A match, the young Chipolopolo players lined up inside their centre circle and clapped as a mark of solidarity to Mwepu affectionately known as computer due to his ball dazzling skills that opponents find difficult to deal with.<\/p>\n

The gesture was also complemented by a positive result that saw Zambia finishing top of group A after edging Botswana 1 \u2013 0 thanks to a solitary goal by Kingston Mutandwa in the 3rd minute which was enough to seal the victory for Zambia.<\/p>\n

The result made it three wins out of three for Young Chipolopolo who will now prepare for the semi-finals. Tomorrow sees the group stages of competition drawing to a close as Angola take on Seychelles who will be playing for pride following their two consecutive losses.<\/p>\n

Reigning champions, Mozambique face Lesotho who have one foot into the semi-finals but will be wary of the potential danger by Angola and Lesotho who both have an outside chance of edging them at the top.<\/p>\n

South Africa, who are high on confidence following their victory over Namibia have a tricky assignment against Comoros who are top of group A with no goals conceded.<\/p>\n

Malawi officially concludes group A action with a deciding tie against 2020 silver-medalists, Namibia who will be looking at bowing out of the competition with a respectable finish after their disappointing run.<\/p>\n
