Zambia beat Namibia in AFCON Qualifiers. Namibia has qualified to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations despite losing 4-1 after Mozambique drew 1-all away to Guinea Bissau.

Orlando Pirates midfielder Augustine Mulenga fired home the Chipolopolo in the 12th minute with a thunderbolt that spurred the home team into life.

The two sides went into the second half with Zambia leading 1-0 and a rare goal from Donashano Malama doubled the lead in the 55th minute.
