Women's Olympic qualifiers wrap: Malawi, Algeria, Mali & Congo secure first-round advantage

It was a harvest of goals in Blantyre as Malawi secured an 11-1 triumph over Mozambique in their debut Women's Olympic qualifier encounter.

Five goals from Temwa Chawinga, a hat-trick from sister Tabitha plus a brace from Linda Kasenda and Weizze Mvula's strike helped Abel Mkandawire's team decimate their visitors.

They will be aiming to seal their passage to the second round with a fine second leg result at the Estádio do Zimpeto in Maputo next Tuesday.
