Football : Zimbabwe’s unexpected performance against Guinea pays off in 2010 WC / CAN qualifiers

Underdog Zimbabwe held fancied Guinea to a 0-0 draw Sunday in a 2010 World Cup and African Cup of Nations soccer qualifying match in Conakry, giving the side a psychological advantage in the return led in Harare. Against the background of insecurity in the host nation, after an army mutiny, the Zimbabweans held tight in defence, thwarting incessant attacks by the Guineans throughout the match. The draw left the two sides in joint second position in their group, with Namibia – who beat Kenya 2-1 at the weekend – in the number one slot.
