Botswana 1 Namibia 1

A DETERMINED Namibia women’s Under-20 football team came from behind to force a one-all draw against Botswana in the on ongoing African Union Sport Council (AUSC) Region 5 Games’ match that was played at a packed Luveve Stadium today.

After 43 minutes that saw action swing from one end to another, Botswana girls, known as the Young Female Zebras, took the lead at the death of first half courtesy of a Kesegofetse Moshe dipping shot.

The shot beat advancing Namibia goalminder Melissa Matheus after Moshe intelligently made use of a pass she received from the back.

Namibia, who proved to be a darling of many local football enthusiasts, who braved the scotching heat to watch the exciting match, found their equaliser through supper sub Natasha Vekarapi.
