Young Africans end Gallants' Confed Cup dream

Gallants came into the game already on the back foot after they lost the first leg of the semifinal clash in Tanzania a week ago.

A victory by three goals was the only thing that would keep them in the race for a historic continental title.

Gallants had enough goal scoring opportunities to score at least two goals in the first half but players such as Celimpilo Ngema, Lesiba Nku and others wasted their chances.

Yanga also had their chances but found it hard to beat Gallants' veteran goalkeeper Washington Arubi for most of the first stanza.

Arubi was finally beaten when Fiston Mayele scored on the stroke of half time.

That meant Gallants needed to score at least four goals in the final half to go through.

But it was Yanga who doubled their lead and put the game out of Gallants' reach when Musonda scored on 62 minutes.

The Zambian player was set up by Mayele, who ran with the ball from his own half into Gallants' box.

Gallants will now shift the focus to their final DStv Premiership fixture against Swallows FC at Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday.

Gallants will be desperate for a win to avoid possible relegation to the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
