Young Zebras hold Angola to a goalless draw

Young Zebras on Thursday held Angola to a goalless draw and ultimately handed Zimbabwe qualification to the semi-finals without kicking a ball. That result means that Zimbabwe is occupying the top of the table after they opened their campaign with a pair of victories and a full haul of six points.
