Namibia lost its third match in a row at the U17 COPA Coca Cola Inter Africa Tournament in Pretoria, South Africa on Monday morning, going down 2-1 to Ethiopia. It was Namibia’s third successive defeat at the tournament after losing 3-0 to Kenya and 2-1 to Malawi.

Ethiopia took an early lead but Namibia struck back with a goal by Lorenzo Louis on 17m. The Namibian team however suffered a great setback when its coach was sent off for misconduct after which it conceded a second goal just after halftime.
