Strikes from Tapiwa Mandinyenya, Bill Antonio and Kelvin Mangiza plus an own goal by Siyabonga Monyaka gave the Young Warriors their only victory at the tournament.<\/p>\n

The Young Warriors amassed a total of four points in Group A but failed to reach the semi-finals of this regional tournament.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe lost 2-0 to Mozambique, having drawn 2-2 against South Africa in their opening two group matches before thrashing Lesotho but it was too little, too late as they failed to reach the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Mozambique finished top of the group with seven points, following a 0-0 draw against South Africa yesterday to proceed to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Only Mozambique progressed to the last four from Group A.<\/p>\n

Mozambique and other group winners from Group B and C will be joined by the best runners up across all three groups to complete the semi-finals quartet.<\/p>\n

The two finalists will qualify for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations finals to be played in Mauritania.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Young Warriors are expected back home on 10 December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
