Namibia have claimed the 2016 COSAFA Under-17 Championship title after a 3-1 penalty shootout victory over South Africa following a 1-1 draw in the final in Mauritius yesterday.
Namibia had lost 4-0 to the South Africans in the pool stage, but showed a vastly improved performance and claimed a deserved win in the shootout.
After a goalless first half in which Namibia had the better chances, the deadlock was finally broken midway through the second period when substitute Godwin Awaseb, who had only been on the pitch for three minutes, smashed the ball home.
