Central African Republic had not played a FIFA World Cup match since the 2000 tournament, but today they welcomed 2012 African Cup of Nations finalists Botswana to Bangui. The highly fancied Zebras may even have been considered favorites in the group ahead of South Africa, but the hosts did not seem to care. Hungary-based forward Foxi Kethevoama (pictured) scored the host's first goal before the Zebras could even gather themselves for twenty full minutes. The half ended at 1-0.If the Zebras had fancied a comeback, Kethevoama made it much more difficult by adding his team's second goal a dozen minutes into the second period. The game remained scoreless the rest of the way. Central African Republic recorded their first ever FIFA World Cup victory by a score of 2-0.
