Zambia beat SA in Under-17 Women World Cup qualifier

Zambia has launched its 2020 FIFA Under-17 Women World Cup qualifying campaign with a victory over South Africa on Friday.

Zambia won this first leg tie played at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka, with first-half goals scored by Esther Banda and Dorica Malunga, Lusaka Times reported.

Malunga put the home side in front after 18 minutes with Banda’s goal coming three minutes away from the half-time break.
