Malawi knock Ethiopia further back.


Ethiopia's struggles in the 2015 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers continued as they lost 3-2 away to Malawi in their second Group B game on Wednesday.
Ethiopia opened their qualifying campaign with a 2-1 home defeat by favourites in Group B Algeria on Saturday.
Malawi can thank their South Africa-based striker Atusaye Nyondo for his brace of goals, which began after 18 minutes.
Another South Africa-based player, Ethiopia midfielder Getaneh Kebede, equalised on the stroke of halftime.
But Frank Banda restored Malawi's advantage with a 62nd minute goal before Nyondo added the third four minutes later.
Then, right at the death in referee’s optional time after the 90, Ethiopia striker Yussuf Saleh made it 3-2 but the damage was already done.
Overall, Malawi had the upper hand in a hard-fought game and fully deserved their victory.
Earlier on Wednesday, DR Congo beat Sierra Leone 2-0 in their second Group D game on Wednesday.
DRC’s goal came from Ndombe Mubele and Jeremie Bokila.
