Mares in tense wait for Ghana-Tanzania result

The Mares roared back into contention on last night with a late 2-1 win over Tunisia in their final Group B match. A thunderous volley from Lesego Radiakanyo and a last-minute winner by Gaonyadiwe Ontlametse handed the Mares their first win at the competition.

That result lifted the Mares to three points with a -1 goal difference, after narrow 1-0 losses to Algeria and Nigeria in the opening two games. The team sits second in the two qualifying spots reserved for the best third-placed teams across the three groups, with Senegal assured of the other spot.
