Malawi U20 beat Comoros U20 2:1 in the Group Stage C fixture of the COSAFA U20 Championship on 23 September 2026. Z. Moussa opened the scoring in the 23rd minute before Comoros responded in stoppage time. Two late goals at 90+3 and 90+6 decided the outcome, though the second one proved decisive.
By then the hosts had already established their advantage on the half-hour mark. Moussa's strike gave Malawi U20 a cushion that Comoros could not fully erase. The visitors pulled one back late on, but the game was already slipping away.
The result moves Malawi U20 into second place with three points from two games. Comoros U20 remain in fourth with just one point from two outings. And here's the thing — the gap between them widens as the group stage progresses.
Malawi U20's recent form has been mixed. They beat Botswana U20 3:0 on 21 September after losing to Zambia U20 2:0 on 18 September. Comoros U20 drew with Botswana U20 0:0 on 19 September following a heavy defeat to Zambia U20 3:0 on 21 September.
The victory keeps Malawi U20's hopes alive in the group. Comoros U20 must now find a way to climb away from the bottom. To be fair, one point from two games leaves them with work to do if they want to advance.
