In the COSAFA Cup - Women division game on October 11, Namibia (Wom) dominated Lesotho (Wom) in a thrilling encounter that saw them sail through with a 2-0 victory. The game, that ultimately tilted in Namibia's favour, was not just a show of extraordinary defence tactics but also a demonstration of prolificness in their attacking play.

Namibia (Wom) struck an early lead, 34 minutes and 30 seconds into the first half, a psychological advantage that put Lesotho (Wom) on the backfoot early on. This was followed by what appeared a rather quiet first half from both teams, with the intensity peaking when Lesotho received a yellow card at the 44th-minute mark.

Going into the second half, Namibia (Wom) continued to pile pressure on Lesotho (Wom), and their determination finally paid off at the 73-minute mark when they netted their second goal. A glimmer of confusion on the Namibian’s side was witnessed with a yellow card moment at the 60-minute mark, but this did not impede their performance.

Corner kicks can be a solid indicator of attacking prowess and ability to apply pressure, and in this regard, the Namibia team edged out Lesotho with 3 corner kicks against Lesotho's 2. Brief moments of polemical game-play were observed with Namibia hitting an offside record of 5 compared to Lesotho's 2. This could insinuate an overly aggressive approach from the Namibian side, a factor they might need to control in future matches.

Contrary to the goals’ statistic, the game was not without its sharps and flats in disciplinary matters. Both teams recorded a yellow card each, which is a poignant reminder that the contest was indeed fiercely battled. It's worthwhile noting, however, that none of the teams were reduced to ten players at any point throughout the match; no red cards were flashed.

Analyzing from these statistics, the Namibia team displayed superior teamwork and performance, evidenced by their two-goal victory. Their aggressive attacking play and a solid defence denied the Lesotho side any scoring chances. While maintaining high discipline levels, controlling their offside moments would be paramount in their future matches. On the opposite end, Lesotho needs to up their game in taking advantage of set pieces such as corner kicks, while maintaining discipline on the field.
