Malawi responded excellent after sixteen minutes of play. Russel Mwafulirwa put the ball in the net after a mix up between Algerian ‘keeper Fawzi Chaouchi and Madjid Bougherra: 1-0.
Elvis Kafoteka’s fine header lifted the score to 2-0, ten minutes before half time and Davie Banda secured the win just after the break: 3-0.
