MIGHTY Warriors coach Sithethelelwe “Kwinji 15” Sibanda is reluctant to go overboard regarding the women’s national football team’s away victory over Namibia three days ago and has warned it would be foolish for her charges to get complacent ahead of return leg of the Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifiers first round at Rufaro today.

Zimbabwe put up an impressive performance on Thursday to beat Namibia 2-0 in their backyard courtesy of goals from Marjory Nyaumwe and the returning Mavis Chirandu.
The victory puts the senior women side in a good position when they host the Brave Gladiators today, but Sibanda is not getting carried away just yet.
“Obviously we were delighted with the result away from home, but the message we have been telling the girls from the first leg is that there is no room for complacency.
“All the teams are working hard to improve every time and the standard of the women’s game on the continent has improved significantly. Namibia also know how we play from the first leg we played them and they will be trying to improve”, she said.
If the Mighty Warriors pull through tomorrow, they advance to the second and final round of the qualifiers where they will meet either the Shepolopolo of Zambia or the Twiga Stars of Tanzania.
The two teams drew 3-3 on Wednesday in Dar es Salaam and will meet in the final leg today at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.
