The Warriors have broken the Cosafa Cup record by lifting the regional trophy for the 5th time after thrashing Zambia in a thrilling final.
The player of the tournament Knox Mutizwa opened the scoreline after connecting a header in the first half but the Zambians levelled the scoreline a few minutes from the break.
The Sunday Chidzambwa-coached side came back from the break with verve as Talent Chawapiwa produced a scorcher from Knox Mutizwa rebound header. Ocean Mushure sealed the victory a well-executed long drive which left the Zambian goalie clutching the grass.
The Zambians looked lost in the second-half despite a promising start in the first half.
The victory by the Zimbabwe national team has given hope to the nation which has always struggled to do well in international competitions.
The Zimbabwe Football Association and Cosafa President Philip Chiyangwa looked visibly excited as he witnessed the Warriors’ victory.
The Zimbabwean coach led the Warriors to victory in 2003 and 2009, while his brother Misheck was in charge as Zimbabwe took honours in 2000.
