A brace from Luketekelo Kapowa earned Zambia a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan at the UEFA U16 international development tournament in Georgia.
Kapowa gave Zambia 1-0 lead over Azerbaijan in the 17th minute.
Nine minutes later Edward Mwale gave Zambia a two goal caution with a well taken finish but the Europeans pulled one back.
Aaron Kawangu’s coached side wrapped it up with another goal from Kapowa in the 72 minute.
Zambia top the group with four points, two better than hosts Georgia.
Georgia’s next match is against Azerbaijan on Monday and a loss for the hosts will confirm Zambia as Champions.
The young guns are expected back in the country over the weekend.
