Namibia records historic win, beat Tunisia 1-0, as Burkina Faso leads group D

Deon Kavendji’s 89th-minute header has given Namibia its first-ever win in all its Africa Cup Of Nations games.

The team beat Tunisia 1-0 at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium on Tuesday.

The underdog’s unmatched performance had secured Namibia second place in group E of the competition.

Namibia has never reached the knockout stage as they had always lost in the group zone.

Furthermore, Mali competed fiercely against Namibia in the group, beating South Africa 2-0 at the same stadium.

The Bafana team missed a consolation goal as Percy Tau’s penalty soared over the crossbar, leaving them in the shadows of missed opportunities.

Meanwhile, at Stade Bouaké Stadium, Burkina Faso orchestrated a dramatic 1-0 takedown of Mauritania in their Group D showdown.

The referee’s VAR intervention, dissecting Nouh Mohamed El Abd’s actions, unfolded the story of a penalty, which was deftly converted into a goal by the skilled Bertrand Traoré during stoppage time.

Burkina Faso now stands atop the group, a three-point ascent toward greatness, while Mauritania grapples in the depths of the relegation zone.
