Namibia put pressure on Zambia and Guinea Bissau

It is all-square in Group K of the 2019 AFCON qualifiers with all four teams heading into match-day-four this week tied on points following Namibia’s dramatic away win over Mozambique on Saturday.

Namibia came from behind to stun Mozambique 2-1 away in Maputo.

Edson Mexer gave Mozambique a 1-0 halftime lead with a header that took deflection off Namibian player before going in.

But Petrus Shitembi equalized in the 69th minute before the industrious Deon Hotto scored a stoppage time to hand Namibia their first Group K win.

Namibia, Guinea Bissau, Zambia and Mozambique are now all tied on 4 points after three rounds.

Zambia must now beat Guinea Bissau on Sunday away in Bissau heading into their penultimate Group K game in November away to Mozambique who suffered their first loss in the qualifiers today.

However, victory for Zambia tomorrow will only see them take command of Group K until Tuesday when Mozambique visit Namibia in Windhoek when the status in the pool will be confirmed at the end of match-day-four.

  2. Lusaka times am not sorry for insulting lungu and inonge but am sorry to all the upnd readers for putting you through the offensive experience.

  3. Ba zambia, their football is about “if this 1 beats that 1” then zambia might qualify. Fyonse pa Z nipa relax, then people insult government when people are lazy, no determination, no ambition, no work culture. Kuwaya wayafye every time
