Mudimu & Zimbabwe qualify for AFCON 2019!
Everyone at Druids would like to congratulate Alec Mudimu and his Zimbabwe side for securing qualification to this summers AFCON competition in Egypt!
Zimbabwe winning 2-0 to seal their place at Egypt 2019.
The Democratic Republic of Congo also qualified from the group with a 1-0 win over Liberia in Kinshasa.
Zimbabwe finished top of Group G with DR Congo second, two points adrift.
Liberia and Congo-Brazzaville - who were both in contention at the start of the day - were eliminated.
With fans clamouring to get inside the stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe's players knew what qualification for the Nations Cup meant to supporters.
Khama Billiat, who plays for Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa, opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a well-struck free-kick to put Zimbabwe 1-0 up.
His Belgium-based captain Knowledge Musona added a second 16 minutes later, pouncing on a defensive error to make it 2-0 to the hosts.
Congo-Brazzaville tried to get back into the match but could not overcome a powerful and resilient Warriors team.
The victory makes it back-to-back Nations Cup appearances for Zimbabwe, who played at Gabon 2017 after an 11-year absence from the finals.
We'd also like to pass on our condolences to those in Zimbabwe who have lost their lives during Cyclone Idai and its aftermath, you can donate to the disaster relief via https://www.dec.org.uk/
