Zimbabwe 0-1 Tanzania: Shekigenda helps Twiga Stars silence Mighty Warriors

Tanzania started their campaign in the 2020 Cosafa Women's Cup on a fine note with a 1-0 win over Zimbabwe on Wednesday.

Kadosho Shekigenda's solitary effort helped the Twiga Stars claim a victory against the Mighty Warriors in their first competitive match since April when they featured in the 2020 Unaf Women's Cup.

The two teams were meeting for the first time in the competition since 2011 when the East Africans bowed 4-2 on penalties to their Southern Africa opponents in a semi-final encounter in Harare.

After a drab goalless first half, Shekigenda broke the deadlock on the hour mark for Tanzania as she managed to fire the ball past Zambibwe goalkeeper Cynthia Shonga and into the net.
