Warriors Winless In Miserable World Cup Qualifying Campaign
The Warriors ended their miserable FIFA 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with a whimper after being held to a 1-1 draw by Ethiopia in Harare on Sunday.
This means that Zimbabwe failed to register a single victory in six matches, the only team that failed to win in Group G.
Coach Norman Mapeza made five changes from the team that lost in South Africa on Thursday.
Only stand-in captain Khama Billiat, Gerald Takwara, Bruce Kangwa, Kelvin Madzongwe, Ishmael Wadi and David Moyo retained their places in the starting XI.
Kudakwashe Mahachi scored the opener in the 36th minute, striking from long range to beat the goalkeeper, who was off his line.
Ethiopia equalised in the 86th minute when Abubakar Ahmad evaded his markers and beat the advancing keeper before slotting home the equaliser.
The result, meanwhile, stretches Zimbabwe’s winless streak to eleven games across all competitions.
Warriors XI: T. Mvula, G. Murwira, G. Takwara , A. Mudimu, B. Kangwa, K. Madzongwe, T. Kamusoko, I. Wadi, K. Billiat (c), K. Mahachi, D. Moyo.
