Copper Queens Dominate 8–0 to Seal Semifinal Spot at COSAFA U20 Women’s Region 5 Games

Zambia’s Young Copper Queens delivered an inspired, flawless performance in the COSAFA U20 Women’s Championship at the Region 5 Youth Games, cruising to an 8–0 victory over Eswatini and qualifying for the semifinals without conceding a single goal in the group stage.

The match at Hage Geingob Stadium was a one-sided exhibition of attacking football. Zambia struck early and never let up, finishing with a scoreline that sent a clear statement to the rest of the tournament.


Goal Gluts & Standout Display

  • Lweendo Hanongo opened the floodgates in 9’, setting the tone.

  • Ruth produced a sensational individual display, with a five-goal haul at 13’, 17’, 27’, 33’, and 41’, staking her claim as the tournament’s early top scorer.

  • Bwalya Chileshe added to the tally just before halftime at 45’.

  • Grace Phiri punctuated the performance with the final strike at 70’.

The win pushes Zambia through as Group B winners, maintaining their unbeaten run (two wins, three draws, no goals conceded) in group play.
