The Copper Princesses powered into the finals of the Under-17 COSAFA Challenge Cup with a convincing 3-0 victory over Madagascar, maintaining their unbeaten record and clean sheet in the tournament.

Zambia’s confidence was evident from the start, with an early breakthrough in the 12th minute.

Captain Mercy Chipasula orchestrated the attack, delivering a precise assist to Hellen Banda, who calmly netted the opener.

Chipasula’s exceptional form continued as she earned her third Player of the Match accolade.

Her all-around performance included setting up Grace Phiri for Zambia’s second goal in the 33rd minute.

The captain sealed the win in the 79th minute, finding the back of the net after a clever assist from Hellen Banda, ensuring a dominant 3-0 result.

The Copper Princesses now advance to their fourth consecutive COSAFA U-17 Girls Championship final, where they will face either Mozambique or Lesotho tomorrow.
