Madagascar win Cosafa Cup
Durban - Madagascar's Rajaonison Toljoniaina Edith Jean made the Lesotho line up turn green with envy, with his 70th minute strike earning the islanders their first Cosafa Under-20 title in Umlazi on Sunday.
Lesotho enjoyed the majority of possession during the final of southern Africa's premier Under-20 tournament, but it was the Madagascar "green machine" that came out tops with a 1-0 victory.
Madagascar's young stars, whose every touch of the ball was cheered on by a vocal group of travelling supporters, also made their way to the podium to collect individual awards, with Ramiadamanana Claudio collecting the Player of the Tournament award, while Rabefitia Pamphile scooped the Top Goalscorer of the Tournament honours, with eight goals scored.
Amajita goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune was named the Goalkeeper of the Tournament, while the South African side were honoured with the Fair Play tournament award.
In the playoff for third and fourth places, Zambia saw off the Amajita challenge with goals by Robert Gondwe (33rd minute) and Ignatius Lwipa (89th minute), setting up the Zambians' 2-0 win.
