It was sweet revenge for Malawi as they lost 2-1 to Banyana in the group stages of the competition. This was Malawi’s first win over SA, who were looking to reach the final for the fifth consecutive time, and this is also the first time in their history that Malawi have gone past fourth place. Sikelo’s save fell into the path of oncoming Melinda Kgadiete but her grass-cutting shot was cleared away for a corner kick by Chimwemwe Madise, who was providing cover at the far post.
Banyana equalised in the closing stages of the first half when defender Holweni rifled home a thunderous shot from the edge of the penalty box for her third goal of the tournament.
