Namibia’s national women’s football team, the Brave Gladiators lost 4-3 to their South African counterparts, Banyana Banyana in Pretoria on Saturday. Namibia seemed to be heading for a draw, but with four minutes remaining Banyana substitute Mampashe Popela scored the winning goal after dribbling into the box and scoring from close range.
Banyana dominated possession and were full value for their win, although Namibia gave a battling display and made full use of the opportunities that came their way.
