Mozambique Vs South Africa (2 - 1) All Goals & Extended Highlights – COSAFA MEN'S UNDER-20

young Mambas of Mozambique advanced on the strength of an excellent start at the Somhlolo National Stadium in Lobamba, defeating South Africa 2-1. Chaimito Alfandega danced past a couple of Amajita defenders before tapping his finish past onrushing goalkeeper Aden Dreyer to put Mozambique into the lead in the 11th minute. Only four minutes later the South African defense was caught sleeping again when Mozambique captain Keyns Abdala towered above his marker to nod in a corner kick, making it 2-0 at the end of the opening quarter hour.

South Africa fought back but will be disappointed they were not able to complete a comeback. In the 25th minute the Mozambique lead was cut in half when a turnover led to Mduduzi Shabalala’s brilliant through ball finding Brenden Duba, who slipped his low finish past keeper João Fasistencio. It appeared that South Africa would surge back when Mozambique’s Calilo Traore was sent off just before halftime for a second yellow card but Amajita could not muster up an equalizer with their day being summed up by a stunning save from point blank range by Fasistencio in the 78th minute.
