Flames dedicate vital draw to flood victims

The Flames have dedicated their spirited performance against the continent’s top-ranked team Senegal on Tuesday at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon  to flood victims in the country.

Malawi punched above their weight to hold the Teranga Lions to a goalless draw to boost their last 16 qualification chances

The Senegalese, boasting world-class stars such as Liverpool forward Sadio Mane and Chelsea goalkeeper Edouardo Mendy, were ranked odds-on favourites, but found it hard against the Flames, who put up a five-star tactical display.

Flames coach Marian Mario Marinica said: “We got a deserved draw.

“This flooding, which has affected many people, is a cause for concern.

“We feel with our brothers and sisters. We are with them in our thoughts and we dedicate this performance to them.”
