Zimbabwe have retained the Cosafa Castle Cup.
The team came from 2-1 down to beat Zambia 4-2 in extra-time in the final.
Zimbabwe scored a dramatic last ditch equaliser to take the Cosafa Cup final into extra time and then saw Khama Billiat net twice to retain the southern African championship with a dramatic 4-2 victory over perennial foes Zambia in the final.
Zambia were only seconds away from extracting revenge for defeat in last year's final but conceded deep in stoppage time in Polokwane, South Africa, to see the game tied 2-2 after 90 minutes and then gave away a spot-kick in exra time for another defeat.
Khama Billiat won a record-extending sixth title for Zimbabwe with his 101st minute penalty, getting up off the turf after he had been brought down in a clumsy tackle by Zambia substitute Ronald Kapamba to slot home the resultant kick, and then scored an insurance goal in the 117th minute.
Sweden-based striker Philana Kadewere scored Zimbabwe's two goals in regulation time including a dramatic 93rd minute equaliser at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in South Africa's northerly Limpopo Province.
Lazarous Kambole struck two superb goals on both sides of half-time for Zambia.
