Malawi Stars Stay Grounded After Historic Win Over Nigeria

RABAT, Morocco — Malawi midfielder Leticia Chinyamula has insisted the Scorchers will not get carried away by their stunning 3-2 victory over ten-time champions Nigeria at the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Speaking after the historic Group C result, Chinyamula said: “We are not carried away by the Nigeria result.

The debutants produced one of the biggest upsets in WAFCON history on Tuesday night at Al Madina Stadium, coming from behind to defeat the Super Falcons. Temwa Chawinga scored twice and her sister Tabitha added another as Malawi secured a famous win in their opening match of the tournament.

Chinyamula, a key figure in midfield for the Scorchers, stressed the importance of remaining focused as the team looks ahead to their remaining group fixtures. The victory has given Malawi an early boost in their first appearance at the continental finals, but the midfielder made clear that the squad’s attention remains firmly on the challenges still to come.
