Match Recap

Benjaloud Youssouf settled this Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in the 53rd minute, giving Comoros a 1-0 win over Namibia. It's the only goal these two sides have needed to decide their sole recent meeting, with the hosts now perfect in that head-to-head. Youssouf's strike wasn't just a match-winner, it moved him into the qualifying campaign's top ten scorers, sitting sixth with a goal to his name in a race still topped by M. Munetsi's three. Comoros had to be patient, holding Namibia scoreless through a tense first half before finding the breakthrough they needed shortly after the break. Namibia pushed for an equalizer but couldn't find a way past a Comoros defense determined to protect its slender lead, and the door stayed shut all the way to the final whistle. For a qualification group where single goals carry outsized weight, this was Comoros doing just enough, and Youssouf doing exactly what a rising scorer needs to do. Catch the 53rd-minute strike that separated these two sides in the highlights below.
