The Zebras have recorded a clean bill of health ahead of a crunch tie against Mauritius in the ongoing COSAFA Cup taking place in South Africa. The Zebras currently lead Group B in the first round with four points heading into the deciding matches this afternoon.

They kicked off the tournament with a 2-1 victory over Angola with goals from Kabelo Seakanyeng and Onkabetse Makgantai. Seakanyeng was on target again in the second game against Malawi on Wednesday evening. He scored an equaliser in the dying minutes of the game to earn the Zebras a vital point after Malawi had taken the lead for the better part of the match.

This afternoon, Zebras will take on Mauritius in what is a must-win game. Reports from South Africa have indicated that the Zebras have no injuries to worry about. Yesterday they had a morning rest before they resumed training in the afternoon. A victory for the Zebras will see them through to the quarterfinals where they are going to take on defending champions, Zimbabwe.
