Zebras on course to make history

On Wednesday, the Zebras entered a stadium named after the late Malawian dictator, Kamuzu Banda in Blantyre as underdogs against Malawi but emerged unscathed after a credible 1-1 draw. The performance underlined the national team's growing reputation in the qualifiers and the road to Equatorial Guinea and Gabon looks clear.

The result means the Zebras unbeaten record in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations is still intact.  Coach, Stanley Tshosane touched down at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport with his pedigree fortified after doubts were cast on his ability before the start of what is turning out to be a fruitful campaign. The tactician will be forgiven for walking with an air of bravado after his charges tightened their grip on Group 11. Although the Zebras dropped their first points and conceded for the first time since the qualifiers started, Tshosane will be pleased with the point earned in foreign territory.
