Cosafa Cup: PSL stars shine as Namibia beat Lesotho to draw level with Angola in Group C

Namibia moved level with Angola in the Cosafa Group C table after securing a 2-1 win over Lesotho at the Wolfson Stadium on Monday afternoon.

Ivan Kamberipa opened the scoring for the Brave Warriors in the 38th minute. Namibia went to the break leading 1-0.

Nine minutes into the second half, Neo Mokhachane levelled matters for Likuena.

Lesotho failed to maintain the Brave Warriors’ pressure until Black Leopards striker Bethuel Muzeu sealed the win for Namibia.

Namibia are now level on four points with group leaders Angola, who beat Seychelles on Monday. Meanwhile, Lesotho remained at the bottom of the table with just a point.

Cape Town City star Aprocius Megameno Petrus was named Man of the Match after the game.

The left-back was lively down the left flank creating problems for Lesotho and he was also solid defensively.

Lesotho should be disappointed after failing to capitalise on the chances they created throughout the match.

Likuena put themselves under pressure ahead of their last game of the group as they can’t afford to lose or draw.

Namibia’s last group match will be against Seychelles on Wednesday, July 3, meanwhile, Lesotho are set to fight for the three points with Angola on the same date.

The final matches of the group will decide who progresses to the knockout stages.
