Namibia’s Brave Gladiators are ready to turn on the heat against a wounded Angolan side at the Sam Nujoma Stadium tomorrow at 15:30.
The side will be going into the match oozing with confidence following their 4-0 victory over the Angolans on Wednesday.
Spanish La Liga’s Zenatha Coleman, who scored a brace on Saturday, will remain the player to watch alongside Women Super Cup player of the tournament Thomalina Adams, who was on target from the penalty spot.
Proud coach Robert Nauseb said he will make some changes for tomorrow’s game.
“I am happy the ladies implemented the plan very well but the scoreline is not the true reflection of the match. We should have scored more. Tomorrow, we play again and we will surely make changes,” he said.
Yellow card to Angola
In their last match, Coleman won a penalty after she was brought down in the penalty area by Angolan goalkeeper Domingos Kinanga. Kinanga received a yellow card for her obstruction.
Coleman finally got onto the score sheet seven minutes before the break as she scored from an acute angle, after again finding space down the left.
The half-time score stood at 2-0 in Namibia’s favour.
Coleman then added her second of the match and Namibia’s third goal on 57 minutes after she tapped the ball home from close range unchallenged after some fine play down the right by Adams.
Then it was time for substitute Millicent Hikuam to get on the act on 64 minutes, again tapping home at the far post after slipping through Kinanga’s hands.
Both sides are using the friendlies to prepare for the future and had the opportunity to make five substitutions each, which they fully utilised.
Coleman won the woman of the match award courtesy of Telecom Namibia, and walked away with a smartphone and plate of honour, which were presented to her by the chairperson of the Namibia Women’s Football Association, Monica Shapwa.
