FRANCISTOWN: The Zebras strolled to the next round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers with an emphatic 3-1 victory over Eritrea before an electrifying 15 378 spectators who thronged the Francistown Sports Complex.

The Zebras advanced to the second round 5-1 on aggregate after last night’s  brace from Mogakolodi ‘Tsotso’ Ngele and one from Joel Mogorosi.

Eritrea sprung a surprise on the counter in the 10th minute when Yonas Solomon crossed into the box and Henok Goitom outran two Zebras defenders before heading home to give the Camels the lead. The Zebras replied shortly as  Ngele stepped up to coolly convert  with his magical left foot from a free kick.  The hosts surged ahead in the 20th minute when Mogorosi met Moyana’s perfect cross and planted a firm header to send Zebras supporters into delirium. Hendrick Moyo had numerous scoring opportunities, but lacked the cutting edge.
