Zambia on Wednesday lost 2-1 to Angola in the final of the Boys’ Under-17 football tournament at the Region 5 Games in Maseru, Lesotho.

This was the first time Zambia was losing at the competition.

Angola took the lead when Eusebio headed in an 11 minute goal that was canceled by striker Marcel Zimba’s goal.

Meanwhile, Zambia captain Joseph Banda won the Player of the Tournament.

The accolade comes with an opportunity of spending a week in Spain as a guest of La Liga Santander.

The Zambian boys will be consoled by the girls triumph at the same event on Monday.
