Zambian striker Rotson Kilambe made a dramatic return to international football, scoring two goals in his team's 3-0 victory over Mozambique on Saturday.

His goals propelled the Zambians into the semi-final of the Cosafa Castle Cup.

Kilambe struck home from the edge of the penalty area after just 10 minutes, edging past the Mozambican defenders before unleashing a ferocious shot.

Chaswe Nsofwa extended the lead eight minutes from halftime, cutting in from the left wing and scoring from an acute angle.

Kilambe, named man of the match, left the best for last with a 35 metre strike in the 55th minute, to the appreciation of the home crowd.

Kilambe, who has just returned to the national team, was the first African player ever banned by Fifa for a drugs offence.

Traces of marijuana were found in his system, following a drugs test at the end of a World Cup qualifier against Cameroon last July.

The ban came into force last September and sidelined Kilambe from the Zambian squad that travelled to the African Nations Cup last January.

Zambia join Swaziland and Malawi in the semi-final draw, to be made in the South African city of Port Elizabeth on 21 July.
