Namibia were able to beat Black Stars B 4:2 on penalty shootouts to lift the Dr. Hage Geingob Cup after the entire minutes ended 1:1 on Saturday. The Namibians had the opener in the cagey encounter but Shafiu Mumuni had the equalizer for Ghana at the Sam Nijoma Stadium. Ghana continued to show dominance in the game and were eager to spoil the party for the Namibians but all efforts went fruitless as the game ended in a 1:1 stalemate. The game was to honor the President of the Republic of Namibia, His Excellency Hage Gottfried Geingbo.
