Zebras' Recover Twice To Beat CAR

The visitors had gone ahead at the half hour mark through Auzingoni Zimbori before a 37th minute penalty by Jerome Ramatlhakwana levelled matters. Botswana started the game in attack mode but never created any real goal scoring chances while the Central Africans tested Kabelo Dambe on several occasions.

The goalkeeper was called to action in the opening 10 minutes, twice making crucial saves to keep the Zebras in the match.  However, the young custodian should shoulder the blame for the opening goal after trying to hold on to a cross he could have fisted away. He spilled the ball to Zimbori who easily slotted home. Botswana had just a minute earlier survived another scare when Amores Dertin's shot came off the upright with Dambe well beaten.
