The Flames of Malawi trail Ghana 0-2 in the first leg of the 2013 AFCON qualifier
The Malawi FA has announced that the second leg of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ghana will be played in the capital city, Lilongwe.
But Flames coach Kinnah Phiri immediately condemned the decision, saying it gives the advantage to the Black Stars.

"We are used to the artificial turf at the Kamuzu Stadium and the change of venue will give the advantage to Ghana because their players pry their trade in Europe where they mostly play on natural grass," Phiri told BBC Sport on Monday.

The former national team striker added: "There's nothing much we can do apart from shifting our camping next week to Lilongwe."
