Match Recap

Milson needed just two minutes to get Angola going, and Mabululu doubled the lead before the break in this Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi. Kialonda Gaspar pulled one back right on the stroke of halftime, giving the away side a lifeline and a share of hope heading into the second half. It didn't last. Valdemiro Pinto Domingos restored the two-goal cushion in the 70th minute, sealing a 3-1 win that lifts Angola to third in the group on a single point from their opener, while Malawi, despite the defeat, sit above them in second after their own first outing. Four goals, three different Angola scorers, and a Malawi response that briefly threatened a comeback before fading. With E. Colley leading the race for the league's scoring charts elsewhere in the competition, this group is wide open early. Watch how Milson's early strike set the tone, and how Valdemiro's 70th-minute finish put the game out of Malawi's reach for good.
