For South Africa and Morocco it was a day to jubilate, while Zambia and nine-time champions Nigeria, had to settle for one more match - Friday's third-place playoff. Zambia 0-1 South AfricaSouth Africa defeated Zambia 1-0 at the Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca thanks to a stoppage-time penalty that Linda Motlhalo successfully converted. The COSAFA derby was a game of two halves, with South Africa taking control after the interval and Zambia dominating the first. The high-intensity encounter saw two Super Falcons: Halimatu Ayinde and Rasheedat Ajibade, sent off in the second half for two malicious tackles. The defending champions did hold their own against the Moroccans, who expectedly dominated thereafter but couldn't find the winner as the game went into extra time.
