Moses Chavula scored the only goal of the game for Malawi<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Malawi survived a stern test to boost hopes of qualifying for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations when beating Togo 1-0 on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Simplex Nthala saved an early penalty to deny the Hawks before Moses Chavula struck the only goal. <\/p>\n

The Group K victory in Blantyre moves Malawi to second on the table with nine points, four behind leaders Botswana. <\/p>\n

Togo’s hopes of reaching the tournament are hanging by a thread as they are fourth on the table with three points. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 2006 World Cup finalists hired coach Stephen Keshi this week to help revive their flagging campaign. <\/p>\n

But the former Nigerian international could not prevent the defeat as they fluffed a penalty and missed several opportunities to punish the home side. <\/p>\n

Malawi defender James Sangala handled the ball in his own goal area which gave gave Togo the hopes of taking the lead. <\/p>\n

But the resultant penalty was beautifully saved Nthala before Chavula hit the match winner in the 18th minute. <\/p>\n

Togo must now win their two remaining matches and hopes other results go their way before they can qualify for the tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. <\/p>\n

Botswana will pick the group’s first ticket to the tournament if they defeat Chad in the group’s other game on Saturday.\n<\/p>\n
