Tanzania claimed a 3-0 victory over Zimbabwe in the other match in the pool on what was an enthralling second day of action at the regional showpiece competition. Tanzania was good value for their win over Zimbabwe, though the game was an evenly-matched contest and could have gone either way.
Two excellent moments of skill settled the contest as Donisia Minja opened the scoring for the East African side three minutes before halftime, and Mwanahamisi Shurua added a second just after the break.
Both sides had chances after that, but Tanzania got the next goal as hugely promising youngster Aisha Masaka, who starred at the 2020 COSAFA Women’s Under-17 Championship scored a late third.
