Women's Afcon 2022: Zambia Qualify for Finals In Morocco

Zambia have reached the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations despite failing to win the second leg of their second round play-off tie on Tuesday.

Zambia secured their qualification on away goals following a 1-1 draw against Namibia.

The second leg of Zambia's play-off, played in South Africa with Namibia as the designated home side, saw both teams approach the match in an attacking manner after a goalless draw in the first leg last Wednesday.

Namibia took an early lead through Emma Naris and were ahead at the break following a first half which saw chances for both sides in Johannesburg.

However, the Copper Queens punished Namibia with 20 minutes to go through substitute Siomala Mapepa and the 1-1 draw was enough for Zambia to make the finals for the third time in their history.
