Zimbabwe’s World Cup Dream Suffers Major Blow

Zimbabwe salvaged a crucial draw against Benin in a World Cup qualifier, thanks to a second half equaliser from Knowledge Musona.

Trailing 2-0 after a calamitous error by goalkeeper Washington Arubi, and a further goal in the 35th minute, Zimbabwe looked on the ropes.

However, Captain Marshall Munetsi pulled one back just before half-time.

Musona then delivered the decisive strike in the 59th minute to level the scores.

The draw leaves Zimbabwe bottom of Group C with three points, while Benin remains on top with eight points after Matchday 5.

Zimbabwe now face a must-win clash against Nigeria in four days to keep alive their slim hopes of a maiden World Cup appearance.

With only one team qualifying from the group of six, and five games remaining, the pressure is on.
