The win was the result of an early goal by Tabitha Chawinga, followed by a second from her sister, Temwa. Both sisters found the back of the net—the home‑grown title was confirmed by an equalizing goal that highlighted the brothers of the squad’s depth. Algeria could only manage a lone response, reminding that Malawi had moved past the group stage and quarter‑finals to set the tone for the rest of the tournament.^[1]

With this victory, Malawi now faces Cameroon in the final, after Cameroon won their semi‑final against Morocco via a penalty shootout. The match will establish whether Malawi can translate its ‘giant‑killing’ streak into a championship, while Cameroon seeks to redeem a tense journey to the tournament’s final.^[1]

Chawinga Sisters Light Up the Game

Tabitha and Temwa Chawinga delivered the performance of a lifetime, each scoring a goal in Malawi’s 3‑1 triumph. Their on‑field partnership proved decisive and suggested that family bonds can translate into sporting success, especially in a high‑stakes match where confidence is as much a weapon as skill.^[1]
