Botswana Defeat Zimbabwe 1-0 in Friendly Ahead of AFCON Qualifiers
Botswana claimed a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Zimbabwe in a friendly match played Wednesday in Gaborone. The game, held as part of Botswana’s 48th independence anniversary celebrations, served as a key preparation fixture ahead of the upcoming third and fourth rounds of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The match-winning goal came in the 74th minute from Moyana, handing the Zebras a timely confidence boost before their crucial double-header against Egypt in Group G next month.
Botswana currently sit in a challenging group that also features Tunisia and Senegal. With the qualifiers heating up, this narrow win provides both motivation and momentum as the Botswanan team aims to shake up the group standings.
