In the match played at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa, the Venoms smiled to a narrow 1-0 win thanks to a Hillary Mukundane sole goal.
The Vipers defender netted in the 13th minute of the contest and his goal was the difference between the two sides.
Vipers skipper Milton Karisa along with substitute Yunus Sentamu all had decent chances to extend their lead over the Namibian side.
