A well-taken volley saw visiting Botswana knocked out their Namibian counterparts out of the AFCON U20 Niger 2019 Qualifiers. The match was played at Sam Njouma National Stadium, Namibia, on Sunday afternoon in a closely contested first round, second leg qualifier.
Having played to a goalless first leg at the Gaborone National Stadium, the visitors grabbed passage to the next round courtesy of the away goal rule with a final score of 1-1.
The Young Zebras went to Namibia looking for an early goal in the match. And that’s what they got, courtesy of a well-taken volley. The Namibians came out gun blazing towards the end, but it was a little too late as they only managed to get an with 5 minutes remaining. And that wasn’t enough to send them through.
The Young Zebras will meet Congo in the second round of qualification for the Niger 2019 showpiece.
