In yesterday's thrilling match between Mozambique and the Comoros Islands, Deolinda, the talented captain of the Mozambican national team, once again demonstrated her footballing excellence by being named Player of the Match. Her crucial contribution helped Mozambique secure an important 3-1 victory, consolidating their prominent position in the 2023 COSAFA Women's Football Championship.
This is the second consecutive game in which a Mozambican player has received this honor, with Isaura having been named the Best Player in the first match against Zambia. This illustrates the depth of talent in the Mozambican national team and the dedication of its players to shine on the international stage.
Yesterday's victory puts Mozambique in a privileged position in Group B of the tournament, tied with Zambia on 4 points each. This tie for the lead means that Mozambique is just one step away from advancing to the next phase of the tournament, and a draw in the final game against the Angolan team will be enough to achieve that goal.
Angola, which had been in the lead, suffered a defeat against Zambia in the second round and is now in third place with 3 points. Meanwhile, the Comoros Islands are at the bottom of the table, still searching for their first point.
