Prior to the winning goal, Tanzania found the back of the net in the 55th minute through Stumai Athuman. But Malawi were given the lifeline after it was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

It was a tightly contested match as both teams showed intent to score but it wasn\u2019t meant to be for Malawi. The defeat means the Scorchers have finished the regional tournament with a silver medal.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Malawi Under-20 women\u2019s football team was this afternoon handed a 2-1 defeat at home against Zambia in the second round of the 2022 Costa Rica World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

This means Malawi football has recorded three negative results in 24 hours. On Friday, the Men\u2019s senior team, the Flames, registered a three nil loss against Ivory Coast in 2022 Qatar World Cup Qualifiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
