Mozambique 1 - Zimbabwe 1

Harare was the site for Zimbabwe's final home game of the tournament with Mozambique visiting.  Both sides were looking to exit the tournament with their first win of round two of qualifying.  Both sides failed to provide good passes in the attacking third for the first forty minutes.  Peter Moyo (pictured, green) was able to hit the woodwork for Zimbabwe with five minutes to go, and Masimba Mambare put away the rebound.  At the half, the score was Zimbabwe 1, Mozambique 0.

Zimbabwe made a pair of substitutions that sapped the spirit from their attack.  Maninho snuck through for Mozambique.  His shot was initially saved, but a poor clearance from Oscar Machapa gave Maninho a second chance, which he gleefully converted.  The match ends 1-1, meaning Zimbabwe fail to win a match in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
