Namibia winger Deon Hotto scored in the second half to claim a 1-0 victory over the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia on Tuesday and keep up the series of shocking scorelines that have dominated the opening fixtures of the tournament.

Hotto found the back net to give the Southern African country who are 87 places behind Tunisia in the FIFA world ranking, a deserved victory as they were noticeably more daring and created the better chances in their opening Group E game at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium.

Hotto had scored again in the dying minutes, but his second goal was ruled as offside.
