Malawi suffered a 2-1 loss to visiting Guinea on Tuesday at the Kamuzu Stadium in the commercial capital, Blantyre to compromise their prospects of reaching the finals of the 2017 AFCON in Gabon.
The Flames, who drew 0-0 in Conakry on Friday, struggled in front of the home crowd during the Day 4 Group L fixture.
Guinea played long balls that troubled the hosts. However, against the run of play, Chiukepo Msowoya scored for the hosts through a header on the half-hour mark after connecting a free-kick.
The lead did not last long as Lamine Yattara glanced in the equalized for Guinea seconds before the first half whistle.
Hopes of a Malawi come back were ended when Malawi youthful goalkeeper, Brighton Munthali, dropped a corner kick on the feet of Idrissa Sylla, who toe-poked into the net.
The Flames drop to the bottom of the group with two points from four games, whereas Guinea is at par with Swaziland with five points apiece, three points behind leaders, Zimbabwe.
