The horn of African country is the lowest ranked of the four teams, but finds itself at the summit of an unpredictable group.The Ethiopians took adventure of a dour 1-1 draw between the Zebras and Bafana Bafana to claim a one-point advantage ahead of CAR. In a group in which Bafana Bafana were seen as the only Zebras stumbling block, CAR and Ethiopia have set the cat among the pigeons with shock results. Now tough trips await both the Zebras and Bafana Bafana to Ethiopia and CAR respectively.
With the draw, the Zebras remain rooted at the bottom, with only one team set to proceed to the next and final round of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. South Africa moved to three points, but slipped to third behind CAR. The Central African country has three points gained from a 2-0 defeat of the Zebras more than a week ago.On Saturday, the Zebras, with a bit of precision could have snatched all three points against a Bafana Bafana side battling to restore dented pride after a run of eight consecutive matches without win. The Zebras started strongly, but faded after hitting the bar in the fourth minute as the neighbours seized control of the midfield battle where Everton talisman, Steven Pienaar was given too much space.
