00:00A big intake of breath and Zimbabwe get us underway in a big match up with DR Congo
00:09Now the crowd excited it's a good incisive pass forward the cross finds itself behind
00:16Nguenya although the number nine was in an offside position didn't give the best opportunity for
00:22Bill Antonio Cayembe it's a neat ball inside for Siddiqui clips it across oh the acrobatics
00:33not bringing the opening goal from the boot of Mabuku and this ball was delivered there was space
00:43free kick opportunity as the ball swung deep what a chance for Munezzi
00:49Munezzi of course Wolves starter as the ball swung in by Mbuku but
01:03Mbuku launches too long but it will be kept alive Cayembe
01:12digs out across oh there's a mistake and it's the opening goal
01:19a flashback to 2019 AFCON for Elvis Tipezeze
01:27and Sebastien Desabres celebrates another Johan Wisse goal
01:36DRC demographic group up the ball lifted in Tipezeze came he didn't claim and Wisse showed no mercy
01:50simple finish
01:53it's his 13th international goal
01:56it's his 5th in his last 6
01:59including his World Cup
02:01more heartbreak against DR Congo
02:03but can the Warriors hit back
02:06a goal kick
02:10lovely ball round the corner
02:12Cherewa
02:14an easy take
02:15for Mathieu Epolo
02:19the Warriors
02:20knocking at the door
02:22as they look for a leveller
02:23Marshall Manezzi there
02:24Johan Wisse away
02:26the ball kept alive
02:27Marshall Manezzi across
02:29the ball's still there
02:31but somehow DR Congo
02:33scrambled it away
02:36Cherewa
02:37well he liked it to punch Epolo
02:39and it might have been easier to catch
02:42that's kept Zimbabwe coming
02:46really good defending though from Kayembe
02:49and it's an excellent ball out
02:51Mutasami
02:52is he onside
02:54Johan Wisse
02:551-1 with the goalkeeper
02:58and it is squeezed wide
03:01to Pazese
03:03well this time
03:04he timed his movement to perfection
03:08but with the keeper out
03:09he tried to curl it round
03:13no wonder
03:14he kicked the spare ball
03:17here is the Motherwell starlet
03:19that's a nice ball from Nakambas
03:22Manezzi made the space
03:24but when he received the ball
03:25he couldn't hold on to it
03:26Wisse it's too clever
03:28too good
03:29and DR Congo
03:31in on goal
03:33isn't to be 2-0
03:34a goal deep in stoppage time
03:38from a devastating Leopards counter
03:43Samuel Mutasami
03:45bursting through
03:48and the finish
03:50that Johan Wisse
03:51would be proud of
03:58well the former non-midfielder
04:01his canaries have dropped
04:03for the top flight
04:04but he hit top speed here
04:05but still the presence of mind
04:07to lift the ball over
04:11and what a moment
04:12he started his international career
04:15in 2019
04:16and on cap 65
04:19it's his first
04:21international goal
04:25well that has just
04:27sucked the life out
04:28of the national sports stadium
04:30in Arari
04:33and Zimbabwe
04:35have deja vu
04:38it's match day two
04:40but just as it was
04:42on match day one
04:44they trail by two goals to nil
04:47at the half time break
04:48while they save the day
04:50to beat
04:53Sierra Leone away
04:55it's a much bigger task

05:43trying to put pressure on
05:45to Pazese
05:46he finds the ball out
05:52good strength
05:53although
05:55the referee doesn't agree
05:59and now he's in the area
06:01looking for
06:02the cross from Mbuku
06:04clipped across
06:05behind for a corner
06:09brilliant skill
06:10Zimbabwe
06:11needs something
06:12to get the crowd going
06:16cancer and Pembe
06:17stepping across
06:18and
06:18will happily concede
06:20the throw

06:22Chalulile
06:25and there
06:27the famous figure
06:29from the DR Congo
06:32crowd
06:35while Shane
06:37Maruza
06:38caught out
06:39and now
06:39out of position
06:41Sipenga
06:42looks up
06:43delivers to the back
06:44post
06:45but gets it all wrong
06:46and cancels on Mbembe
06:49and now a chance
06:50to finish the match off
06:51but Sipenga
06:52just that little extra wide
06:54that he didn't need to beat
06:56Mutasami
06:58lovely ball
06:58to Yohan Wissart
07:00off the post
07:01and the goalkeeper
07:04so close to a second

07:08just a goal kick
07:13lets the ball run
07:14in behind
07:15is Masad Dami
07:16plays it across
07:18well it wasn't
07:19the most convincing
07:20from Tuanzebe
07:21never easy
07:23facing your own goal
07:24well
07:26just that didn't go right
07:29looking for the run
07:31of Mukau
07:31but
07:33oh great touch
07:34should turn
07:35opportunity
07:36strike for goal
07:39in a very commanding position
07:44and they've got to keep
07:45their clean sheet
07:46and Apolo
07:48continues to strive
07:49for that
07:57chance to swing it in
07:58Diakongo
07:59defending stoutly
08:02swung in
08:03oh
08:04we saw Numbuku
08:06overhead
08:06early in the first half
08:08Marshall Munetzi
08:15four points
08:17likely be a minimum target
08:19against Equatorial Guinea
08:21that will
08:23have to wait
08:25now a chance to try
08:27oh what an effort
08:28and what a save
08:33well the two
08:34came to blows
08:35not
08:36this time
08:37Nguanya
08:38with his first
08:39big chance of the match
08:42well it may have turned out
08:43to be
08:44a mere consolation
08:48let's see if they can
08:49hit back
08:50Kansal Mbemba
08:51away
08:52there will be a little bit
08:54more added on than
08:55the plus three minutes
08:56just the minimum
08:58additional
08:58we had
08:59Apolo down
09:00as injury time
09:02began
09:03still seems
09:04an awful long way back
09:06even if
09:07Zimbabwe score
09:08which they have
09:13Marshall Munetzi
09:16once again
09:17trying to inspire
09:19a comeback
09:25listen to the
09:26they know
09:27time is running out
09:29but they still believe
09:32a first goal
09:34conceded by
09:34Mathieu Apolo
09:36in his second cap
09:38as he got
09:39in a twist
09:40with Kevin Moyo
09:43he failed to
09:46but they're not
09:47going to get them
09:50the full-time
09:51whistle signs
09:53DR Congo
09:55well deserving
09:57of their victory
09:58it was looking
09:59very comfortable
