After a 2-2 draw against Zimbabwe to set the ball rolling, Malawi fell to a 2-0 loss in their clash against Mozambique on Sunday.Bob Mpinganjira’s men were level heading into the interval before second-half goals from Vitinho and Francisco Simbine put the game beyond their reach.
The Flames are one of two Group B sides yet to pick up a win and are bottom of the group as things stand, albeit with a game in hand.Alongside Zimbabwe – the other Group B team yet to record a victory – Malawi have conceded more goals than any other outfit, with the exception of Lesotho.
