Namibia went to the top of their World Cup qualifying group when Zimbabwe held Guinea to a 0-0 draw in Conakry on Sunday.

After Namibiaâ??s 2-1 victory against Kenya on Saturday, Namibia now lead Group 2 with three points, followed by Guinea and Zimbabwe on one point each and Kenya on zero points.

Ramblers moved to within a point of log leaders Orlando Pirates with a 2-0 victory against Eleven Arrows in Walvis Bay on Sunday.
Ramblersâ?? national striker Pineas Jacob, who still played for Namibia against Kenya the day before, scored both goals.

The Namibia Premier League title race is wide open heading into this monthâ??s final matches, and the 2007/08 champion will most probably only be known on the last day of the season.
In one of the most exciting title races in recent years, up to seven teams are still in with a chance of winning the title and the N$500 000 prize that goes with it.

Three of Namibiaâ??s soccer stars are playing an important role in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
