SOUTH Africa's U20 national team are through to the quarterfinals of the U20 Africa Cup of Nations after holding Zambia to a 1-1 draw in their final Group A match at the Suez Canal Stadium on Friday night.
The result saw Amajita finish top of the group and book a place in the knockout stages, where they will face DR Congo on Monday at the same venue.
Coach Raymond Mdaka’s side showed character and tactical maturity in a match that required more control than flair.
Amajita took an early lead when Kutlwano Letlhaku found the net in the eighth minute, giving South Africa the perfect start.
