Namibia Go Down Against Malawi

Namibia suffered their first defeat of the 2019 Cosafa Cup after narrowly losing 2-1 to Malawi in a Group B encounter.

Namibia took the lead thanks to Vetunuavi Hambira who scored a powerful header in the 15th minute to put Namibia ahead, however, just before halftime G. Mhango scored a stunning strike for Malawi to level matters. 3 minutes into the 2nd half Namibia gave away a silly penalty which was converted successfully by G. Phiri Junior who put Malawi in the lead.

Malawi has qualified to the quarterfinals, while Namibia will have to beat Seychelles in their last group match on Thursday if they are to finish second in the group.
