Cosafa’s most successful team, Zimbabwe started off the tournament with a goalless draw against Mozambique at the Wolfson stadium and seemingly had a better day at the office than their opponents.
Mozambique had early opportunities to score but was denied by the Zimbabwean Goalkeeper Arubi. The Mozambicans maintained a high pressed strategy and defensively blocked Zimbabwe from getting a goal from the chances they equally created.
In the second match of the day, Namibia put up an impressive performance against Senegal who came to the tournament with the intention of taking the trophy back home to West Africa.
The Namibians had an early lead in the 14th minute when Marcel Papama scored but short lived as Diene equalised for Senegal in the 17th minute.
It was the header by Elmo Kambindu 5 minutes into the 2nd half that decided the fate of the match as the Namibians defended their lead until stoppage time.
