The South African National under-20 Men’s team, Amajita, are through to the final of the 2013 Cosafa Youth Championships following a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory over Zimbabwe at Setsoto Stadium, Maseru on Thursday.
The match went into the penalties after a 0-0 deadlock in regulation time but Amajita had displayed a tremendous fighting spirit after playing the last 45 minutes of the game with 10 men following a red card to goalkeeper Jody February.
They also had to fight off some persistent attacks from Zimbabwe in the last couple of minutes to force the match into penalties.
