THE national under-20 soccer team finished bottom of the triangular tournament standings after losing 3-1 against Kenya in their second and final match in Lilongwe, Malawi yesterday. 

Zimbabwe lost the opening match 3-2 against the hosts on Wednesday.

Just like in the opening match, Zimbabwe conceded three goals and just like in the first match, Zimbabwe’s scorer was Greenfuel’s Denzel Mapuwa.

He scored both goals in Wednesday’s defeat.

Kenya led 2-0 at halftime, increased the lead to 3-0 before Mapuwa’s consolation.  

After the match, Young Warriors coach Simon Marange conceded that they lost to a better team whose players were in better condition against his charges, most of whom are not active regularly on the domestic scene.
