msowoyaSubstitute Chiukepo Msowoya scored twice to help Malawi record a come-from-behind home win against Guinea at Kamuzu Stadium in a joint World Cup and Africa Cup qualifier.

Malawi was 1-0 down when coach Kinnah Phiri sent on Msowoya to replace Dave Banda.

He scored two minutes into the second half, firing hard and low past the Guinea goalkeeper Kemoko Camara.

It proved to be the spur the home side needed after Guinea’s Oumar Kalabane put the visitors in front in the 37th minute from a corner.

Msowoya’s second goal was a bullet header from a Joseph Kamwendo corner in the 60th minute.

The victory was Malawi’s first in four Group E qualifying games. Malawi now joins Guinea on three points. Ivory Coast leads the group with nine points from three games, with Burkina Faso in second place with six points from three games.-AP

    At least this is a good lesson for the blunt Esau Kanyenda. He must have learnt what real strikers need to do with the ball. Well done Malawi. Luncheon ku Sanjika in the offing.

      Kabotolokamo ndi kapasule. Sangamange mtundu. Msowoya amasewera ngatim’Malawi not mtumbuka. I certainly did not watch the match between Malawi and Guinea pamene a Kabotolokamo mwina amaonera Atumbuka and Guinea.

      Xenophobic comments wont help guys.
