The Zambia U17 national team has topped the round robin group of the AUSC Zone V men’s football after comprehensively beating Zimbabwe 3 – 0 thanks to a brace by Francisco Mwepu.
Zambia went in the match standing in second position behind their opponents in a battle for top position but the young bullets were in good form and went ahead in the 20th minute.
This is after Nkundu Kunda netted from the spot.
Zambia held on to the lead until half time.
Mwepu then added another in the 63rd minute before he completed his brace in the 84th minute to seal the win for the defending champions.
Zambia will now play in the semi finals on Friday against the team which will come out fourth while Zimbabwe play the team that will finish second.
The battle to avoid playing Zambia is between bottom placed Swaziland who don’t a point and Angola who have one point.

Progressiveness is what we need at least even if we buy the off the shelf its matching.not the addidas mixed with nike.
Our junior sides are really doing us proud.
On another note I’m getting a little worried about Mbesuma. He has had a bit of a long spell of goal drought.
@BIG STEVE 4fm SA
Mbesuma is the box to box striker He is playing behind strikers which is not his favorite position for him to find the ball into the back of the net. Thats why he is experiecing a drought
Mbesuma is on clutches recovering from injury.@Steve.
