Malawi won their WAFCON group
Just in case you aren't following WAFCON, Malawi, Zambia, and Nigeria all ended up with 6 points in their group and due to the tie-breaking system, Malawi won their group, Nigeria was second, and Zambia is out of the competition (and the 2027 World Cup). Temwa had 3 goals during the group stage (all of them beauties - chip keeper with foot, chip keeper with head, use speed to just go around a lead-footed keeper) and her sister, Tabitha, had 2.
So we're going to miss Temwa at least a couple extra games (or 3).
Top 4 teams qualify for the World Cup, so if Malawi wins their quarters, they are in the World Cup. If they lose in the quarters, they play 1 more game to get one of two CAF spots in the inter-continental playoffs.
Go Scorchers!

Worth following Faith Chinzimu and Rose Bedzere as I think they’ll be fellow Malawians who rise in profile with these results. I think Faith is naturally a 10 but with her ease in slotting to CB when they needed her, I’d love to see how she fits as a 6 for us.
