South Africa coach David Notoane was left to rue a lack of quality up front after his side were held to a 0-0 draw by regional rivals Zambia in their opening game of the Africa Under-23 Cup of Nations in Cairo on Saturday.

Both sides created enough goalscoring opportunities to have won the game‚ but a lack of a clinical edge in the opponent’s box cost them the chance of three points.

“Tactically‚ both coaches were trying to win the game and make sure we got the goal to give us the three points. For us‚ and Zambia as well‚ we lacked a little bit of intelligence and awareness of the moment‚ due to the absence of certain players‚” Notoane admitted.
