Oshana finished third at the Nedbank Namibia Newspaper Cup at Outjo after beating //Kharas 3-1 in the bronze medal match on Monday morning.
Two goals by Petrus Tangeni and one by captain Michael Jonas gave Oshana the victory while Damean Engelbrecht scored for //Kharas.
Oshana came out attacking and Jonas opened the scoring after only three minutes when he pounced onto a deflection in the box to score from close range.
Barely five minutes later it was 2-0 after Tangeni broke through the defence to steer the ball into the net.
Armas Munenguni also hit the back of the net but it was ruled out for offside, while //Kharas keeper Darell Brandt brought off a point-blank save to deny Jonas.
//Kharas opened their account in the 50th minute when Engelbrecht pounced onto a clearance and hit the back of the net with a first-time shot.
Oshana, however, had the final say when Tangeni scored his second goal after a quick counter-attack midway through the second half.
