KAONGA NETS HAT-TRICK, NJALIWA ON TARGET FOR CAPS IN ZIMBABWE

Flames forward Chawanangwa Kaonga netted a hat-trick and assisted Lloyd Njaliwa as CAPS United thumped Scottland Academy 6-0 in the Munhumutapa Cup in Zimbabwe on Sunday.

Kaonga opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 30th minute after being fouled in the box. He then set up Njaliwa in the 55th minute before grabbing his second three minutes later, and completed his hat-trick in the 83rd minute.

Both Kaonga and Njaliwa were handed starts alongside their fellow Malawians Uchizi Vunga and Precious Phiri.

The win means CAPS United have progressed to the round of 16 of the tournament.

GWENGWE DEBUTS IN NEWPORT'S CARABAO CUP DEFEAT

Malawi and England-based forward Shaquille Gwengwe missed a penalty on his official debut but later provided an assist as Newport County lost 5-4 on penalties to AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup in England on Saturday.

Gwengwe was handed a start for the League Two side and was given the responsibility to take a penalty in the 68th minute, which he missed. Three minutes later, he redeemed himself with an assist for the opener.

The 25-year-old forward was then withdrawn in the 73rd minute. The hosts grabbed a 96th-minute equaliser before going on to win the shootout and progress to the round of 32 of the Carabao Cup.

It was Gwengwe’s first official match since joining Newport from non-league side Poole Town two months ago.

MALAWI TARGET WIN, NOT DRAW AGAINST ZAMBIA

Malawi Women’s Football National Team head coach Lovemore Fazili says his side will go into their Group C match against Zambia aiming for victory, with a draw only as a fallback if the game gets tough.

He was speaking on Tuesday ahead of the final group match that will decide the quarter-final fate of Malawi, Zambia and Nigeria at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Fazili said the players are fully focused and that winning all three group games would be historic for the Scorchers in their debut appearance at the tournament.

“The game is very important for the team as it will seal our place in the quarter-finals. Finishing with 9 points would be good. We are going only for a win, not a draw,” said Fazili.

He added that the return of Asimenye Simwaka will add more power to the squad, and that Rose Alufandika’s replacement is equally strong after the defender picked up a red card in the previous game.
