Dignified exit for Zebras

Thursday, February 02, 2012

LIBREVILLE, GABON: The Zebras bowed out of the 2012 Orange Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals without a win or a point, after going down 2-1 against Mali in their final Group D match played here last night, but were certainly not disgraced.

The team failed to defend their early second half lead; allowing Mali to recover and score two goals to partner Ghana to the quarter finals. Coach Stanley Tshosane made a major shake up bringing three changes to the line up that started against Guinea.

Moemedi Moatlhaping made a return to the starting 11 operating on the right flank, while Mogakolodi Ngele was preferred over veteran Dipsy Selolwane to operate behind the lone striker Jerome Ramatlhakwana.
