Zimbabwe put in another superb display as they defeated Mozambique 4-0 to take a firm grip on Group C with two wins and eight goals scored from their games so far.

While perhaps not at their flowing best, the Mighty Warriors were still too strong for the Mozambicans, and took an early lead through Marjoury Nyaumwe.

Emmaculate Msipa made it 2-0 midway through the first half, before striker Rudo Neshamba, back in the side for the first time in three years, took her tournament tally to four as she converted from the penalty spot on the stroke of halftime.

Zimbabwe added just one more goal in the second period as Nyaumwe got her second, but it was still a fine win.

The Comoros Islands may have been fearing the worst when they went 2-0 down to Madagascar inside the opening three minutes, mindful of their record 17-0 drubbing at the hands of South Africa on Wednesday.

But to their credit they rallied and scored a first ever goal in the competition through Wafat Mari.

The Malagasy were still too strong though as they ran out 5-1 winners with Marie Rasoanandrasana (two), Solomampionona Razananivo, Aimée Razanampiavy and Hanitriniana Nivonirina on the scoresheet.
