Zimbabwe held 1-1 by Guinea at home

Zimbabwe missed a golden opportunity to seize the initiative in Group L of the 2017 Afcon qualifiers when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Guinea in Harare on Sunday

Goalkeeper Washington Arubi’s blunder handed the visitors an early lead, and although Knowledge Musona equalised 24 minutes into the game, the Warriors just could not find the winning goal. 

Zimbabwe had gone into the match desperate for a win which would have handed them the initiative in Group L. Guinea for their part were also determined to avoid another slip-up after a surprise 2-1 loss at home to Swaziland in the opening round.
