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.

Angola and Botswana could still qualify as the best-placed runner-up but would need to beat Zimbabwe and Lesotho in their final group games on Sunday to stand a chance. The young Zebras resilient in their display against the Angolans as they were frustrated by a Man of the Match performance from Botswana goalkeeper Thabo Motswagole, who put in a superb display with a string of excellent saves.
