Own goal costs Namibia

Rudi Bowe

An agonising own goal by Itamaunua Keimuine in the dying minutes of the Brave Warriors’ opening match of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday handed Morocco’s Atlas Lions all three points.

Morocco dominated most of the match. The Africa Cup of Nations started on Friday in the host country Egypt.
Having suffered a defeat in their opening match against the Atlas Lions, they face Bafana Bafana today (Friday 28 June) and then it is on to The Elephants (Cote d’Ivoire) in their final clash.
For Bafana, having lost to Cote d’Ivoire in their opener on Monday, it will be important for a win over Namibia if it wants to end the Africa Cup of Nations in a third place (Best Third Place spot).
