Latest football commentary Angola vs Lesotho
Defending champions Angola began their title defence with a dramatic 1-1 draw against familiar foes Namibia, despite having to play with one man down for the final 30 minutes after Randy Nteka was sent off in the 61st minute.

The team nicknamed Palancas Negras thought they had all three points when they scored from the penalty spot in the 90th minute, but conceded in the seventh minute of injury time, giving up the victory in the final seconds.
This is a rematch of the final and group stage of COSAFA 2024. Although coach Pedro Goncalves and his team were disappointed, the dramatic scenario showed that they still maintained their fighting spirit to the end, even when facing disadvantages.
After winning their fourth title last year, Angola remain favourites to top the group and will be determined to get back to winning ways against an opponent they are all too familiar with.
Lesotho opened their campaign with a narrow but impressive 1-0 win over Malawi, thanks to an 87th-minute strike from Makara Ntaitsane.
It is a positive start for the team nicknamed “The Crocodiles”, after a forgettable COSAFA 2024 when they finished bottom of the group with just 1 point. Lesotho are currently leading Group B.
Coach Leslie Notsi will hope this year’s squad can replicate the spirit of 2023 – when they reached the final before losing to Zambia, thereby equalling their best performance in the tournament’s history. A positive result against Angola would take them closer to a semi-final spot.
The head-to-head record favors Angola, with five wins in eight meetings and one draw, but Lesotho won their most recent encounter – in the CHAN qualifiers.
