The Flames qualified for the quarter-finals with a game to spare, when they beat Djibouti 3-0 on Wednesday.

The Ernest Mtawali side has now finished the group second in Group C.

Mtawali made several changes in Friday’s encounter bringing in the likes of Richard Chipuwa in goals, Sankhani Mkandawire, Yamikani Chester, Nelson Kangunje and Chawanangwa Kawonga.

South Sudan scored the first goal 5th minute into the kick-off before nailing the last nail on the Flames coffin in the dying minutes of the match.

Despite Mtawali introducing fresh legs after recess time by bringing in Chiukepo Msowoya, Gerald Phiri Junior and John Banda in for Chawanangwa Kaonga, Yamikani Chester and Chimango Kaira  things did not change on the scoreboard.

South Sudan’s defensive tactics paid dividends as they smiled to finish the group on top with 7 points with Malawi having six points and a point for Sudan and pointless Djibouti.

Speaking in an interview from Bahir Dar, Mtawali said he is focusing now on quarter-finals.

Why did Mtawali thought it wise to change the squad? To me he would have injected two or three players and not eight. Anyway he is building the tme.
Flames all the best.

Bolanso Bright Munthali ndithu. Sankhani was on long injury, how come got call up? He is not fit enough. Bola lucky malata or George Nyirenda. Yamikani Chester? Nde bola Frank Bandatu, chawanangwa kawonga? Bola ziko mkanda amapereka pressure. Bwinotu bwino coach awatu ndi amalawi sachedwa kuthamangitsa coach

How do you manage to lose against south Sudan yet they are struggling with conflicts in their country? Malawi, when will you learn football and believe in yourself that you can conquer the world? Shame on you.
