"We could have scored three four five goals" - Pasuwa

Flames head coach Kalisto Pasuwa said his team missed many chances that could have made the team win by a huge margin but he is happy as he wanted to win against Namibia.

He said this after recording their third win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers by beating Namibia 1-2 away in Botswana on Friday afternoon.

He said the team played well in the match as they used several tactics to unlock the team and was happy to claim the win.

"We played very well today and you could see we kept the ball away from the opponents and at times we tried to catch them from the breaks and I saw them attacking with 6 players towards the end of the first half and I think we could have scored three four five goals but we missed." Said Pasuwa.

He said the players need to boost up their confidence on shooting on goal as it was only Gabadinho Mhango who was shooting on goal.

Malawi have 9 points from three wins and four defeats on position 5.

Pasuwa hails Malango after Flames debut

Flames head coach Kalisto Pasuwa said debutant Mayele Malango played very well in his first minutes at the team and described him as a kind of a player that the team wants due to experience.

He said this after the team beating Namibia 1-2 away in Botswana on Friday afternoon in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers to grab their third group win.

The DRC born attacker was introduced on 86th minute as he replaced Richard Mbulu and put up a brilliant performance in the few minutes at the team.

"He played well in the minutes he played and he was very good as he could have also scored a goal. He is a kind of a player that we are looking for as we will benefot more from his experience." Said Pasuwa.

Malango chose to play Malawi over DRC because he grew up in the Country after leaving DRC due to wars in 1998.

He could be hoping to earn more minutes on Monday as Malawi play Liberia at home at the Bingu National Stadium in a bid to jump up to 12 points

"That could have been a red card" - Pasuwa

Flames head coach, Kalisto Pasuwa, said Dion Hotto could have been sent off for his foul on William Thole as it was too serious and led to a substitution for the goalkeeper.

Pasuwa said this after the Flames 1-2 win over Namibia on Friday afternoon in Botswana to record their third win of the team in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

Thole was replaced on 36th minute following a kick on his chest by the Orlando Pirates man and Pasuwa believed Hotto could have been sent off.

"It was a serious one and I thought the player could have been red carded and again in added time there was another foul which also deserved a red card, on the injured guy, it is a big set back and we have to hear what the doctors will say." Said Pasuwa.

The win took Malawi up to 9 points from three wins and four defeats on position five of the 6-team table and remain with three games to wind up the campaign.

Mbulu, Mhango inspire Flames past Namibia

Richard Mbulu and Gabadinho Mhango were on target as Malawi recorded their third win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers after beating Namibia 1-2 away in Botswana on Friday afternoon.

Mbulu opened the scores after capitalising from a back-pass error from the hosts on 5th minute before William Thole forced to be replaced by George Chikooka due to injury and the Flames survived scares from the hosts to lead at half time.

Chawanangwa Kaonga replaced Robert Saizi at half time then Mhango netted a 48 meter drive after spotting the goalkeeper out of his line on 52nd minute before hitting the post and forcing a great save as the Flames looked hungry for more.

Meanwhile, Mayele Malango was handed his debut on 86th minute then David Ndeunyema pulled one back for the hosts and Maxwell Paipi replaced Lloyd Njaliwa but the Flames clinged on to the win.

Malawi are fifth in their Group with 9 points from three wins and four defeats.
