Gaborone:Windhoek Brave Warriors coach Collin Benjamin is preparing the Namibian national men's football team for a critical rematch against Cameroon, following their recent 2-0 defeat in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

According to Namibia Press Agency , the senior team faced challenges during their third qualifying match, particularly in the first half, where defensive lapses and errors in possession allowed Cameroon to dominate. Benjamin highlighted the importance of learning from these mistakes, especially the wrong pass in the 16th minute that led to Cameroon's opening goal.

Benjamin pointed out the team's struggle in winning individual duels, particularly on the right side of the defense, which allowed Cameroon to create scoring opportunities. He emphasized the need for a stronger winning mentality and defensive cohesion to prevent similar issues in the upcoming match.

Despite the defeat, Benjamin found encouragement in the team's improved performance in the second half, where tactical changes injected energy and competitiveness. He believes these adjustments provide a foundation for the team to build upon as they prepare for Monday's game in Gaborone, Botswana.

The Brave Warriors are currently tied with Comoros on three points, trailing behind group leaders Cameroon, who have accumulated seven points. As Namibia seeks redemption, the outcome of the upcoming Comoros versus Congo match could also impact the group standings.
