Two similar goals from burly striker Love ensured Angola's progress into the quarter-finals of the Cosafa Castle Cup on Sunday at the expenses of Namibia, beaten 2-1
at the Estadio Cidadela.
Angola book themselves a home match in the last eight against Botswana in Gaborone as they stretched their unbeaten run against Namibia to 10 matches.
Love scored with a close-in header from Yamba Asha's cross in the 26th minute for the first goal which Namibia's goalkeeper Arnold Subeb managed to block but then allowed to slip over the line.
Love, from champion club AS Aviacao, scored his second in the 67th minute, again at the end of a cross from Yamba Asha. This time his header came from further out, was powered into the ground and again Subeb managed to get a hand onto it before allowing it slip into the net.
Angola, who only had two of their foreign-based players in the side totally dominated the match against an equally-makeshift Namibian side.
A stunning free kick from defender Jesunh Petrus gave Namibia a glimmer of hope in the 70th minute. Petrus curled a stunner past Lama in the Angolan goal in the only shot that
Namibia managed to get on target throughout the game.
It injected some life into their young and inexperienced side but Namibia kept losing possession by hanging onto the ball too long or hitting stray passes.
Angola's reward is a meeting with Botswana at home on July 18 in the draw for the last eight, conducted directly after Sunday's match in Luanda.
The draw:
13 June (Maputo): Mozambique v Malawi
27 June (Somhlolo): Swaziland v Zimbabwe
18 July (Luanda): Angola v Botswana
31 July (Lusaka): Zambia v Mauritius
