Cape Verde lost 2-0 to Ghana in Morocco on Wednesday as they failed to match the feat of fellow Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) debutants Malawi.

Malawi, the lowest ranked of the 16 title contenders, stunned defending champions Nigeria 3-2 on Tuesday with the Chawinga sisters, Temwa and Tabitha, scoring the three goals.
