Luanda — Angola senior women's national football team beat Mauritius 3-0 on Tuesday, but failed to reach the semi-finals of the Cosafa Cup.

Luvunga scored for the national team at minute 10, Teresa João at 72', and again Luvunga at 81'.

In the competition being played by three groups (A, B and C), the first two of each group progress to the next phase.

South Africa finished in the top position of group A with seven points, followed by Mozambique (five), while Angola with four points and Mauritius with zero were both eliminated.

Angola also failed to progress to the group stage in 2012.

The semi-finals will be played Friday , while the final will take place Sunday.
