Malawi Qualify For Angola 2010 Africa Cup Of Nations








Malawi qualified dramatically for Angola 2010 Cup of Nations with just four points in Group E.

Malawi lost 1-0 to Burkina Faso on Saturday but they reached the promised land after Ivory Coast dismantled Guinea by three goals to nil.

Guinea are in a bottom with three points while Malawi are on fourth poistion with a record of one win and a draw. Malawi has something to smile about after painful 25 years of not qualifying for the cup.

Malawi did not perform well the thing that made the hosts to score a silly goal just a minute into the second half.. The Flames coach, Kinna Phiri made unimpressive selection when he featured two defending midfielders (Jacob Ngwira and Hellings Mwakasungula) the thing that made them to do nothing than chasing shadows.

But things changed when Jacob Ngwira was substituted by Devie Banda who tried to supply the ball to the starving strikers. After that, Malawi showed hunger of goint forward with their free-flowing passes  which although yielded nothing.

Ivory cost already qualified after Malawi earned them a single point at Kamuzu Stadium in September.

Right now people are celebrating regardless of their loss to Burkinabes.
