Chawinga sisters, Temwa and Taitha starred as debutants Malawi handed defending champions Nigeria a 3-2 loss.
Both teams were opening their campaign in the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and it was expected to be a stroll in the park for the more experienced Super Falcons.
But Malawi had other plans. The first sign of things to come was their ability to hold the 10-time winners to a goalless draw in the first half.
Within the space of six minutes in the second half, the Chawinga sisters put Malawi two-goals up and had Justine Madugu side in panic mode.
