Zimbabwe men’s football team, the Warriors made it three loses on the trot when they lost to South Africa by a solitary goal nil in a 2022 Qatar World Cup Africa Qaulifiers match played on Wednesday night at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bafana Bafana led early in the first half courtesy of Teboho Mokoena’s header in the 26th minute from a Keagan Dolly cross to beat Zimbabwe goalkeeper Petros Mhari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa dominated in the first half making it hard for the visitors to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimbabwe offered sporadic threats through the craft of captain, Khama Billiat and the deft movement of Ishmael Wadi, but the interval arrived with the hosts still 1-0 to the good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans expected a lot from the warriors skipper Khama Billiat but he failed to produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimbabwe should have levelled the game when midfielder Blessing Sarupinda was gifted a chance in front of an open goal on 49 minutes, but he somehow failed to hit the target  a raised offside flag somewhat spared his blushes, but it was still an astonishing miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some big names in the Warriors squad who were missing in the match were Knowledge Musona, Tino Kadewere and Tendayi Darikwa due to injuries and other complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa are on top group G with 13 points securing their strong position to advance from Group G to the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other group G match played yesterday Ghana drew 1-1 against the Ethiopians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Black Stars will face South Africa while Warriors face Ethiopia this weekend for their last match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qaulifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
