Football Association Malawi First Vice President James Mwenda applauded the team’s performance the first under Belgian expatriate coach Ronny Van Geneugden.

He said the game had given a yardstick to assess the team ahead of a crucial Championship of African Nations against Madagascar on Sunday.

“The performance has given us a picture on how the team will do against Madagascar. I can say we stand abetter chance,” Mwenda said.

He said Harambe Stars were tough and physical.

“Kenyan players are strong and resorted to high and long balls but we kept possession of the ball that’s why we had a better ball possession than the hosts,” he said.

The selection was rubbish. If they wanted to play with a single local striker, then the top goal scorers, Richard Mbulu (18 goals), Peter Wadabwa (16 goals) or Chiukepo Msowoya. I hope someone is not brain washing this new coach.
