Zimbabwe 2 - 0 Swaziland
It was probably the most boring affair seen at the Setsoto Stadium since the competition started yesterday. However Zimbabwe will care little as they are now assured of progress to the next round and so is Botswana, Swaziland return home. From me Mqondisi Dube at the Setsoto Stadium its good night
FULL TIME
90+ 11 GOAL: Zimbabwe steal victory right at the death as Teenage Radebe pokes home to spark wild celebrations from the players- Swaziland officially eliminated
90+9" Swazi keeper down again and the game stops
90+7" Brilliant football all round as Walter Musona's blistering drive is expertly turned around for a corner by Phila Mamba
90" ELEVEN MINUTES ADDED TIME
88" Swazi keeper, Phila Mamba down injured, another stop
87" Zimbabwe's Pritchard Mpelele should have scored but was denied by goalkeeper, Phila Mamba
82" Carlos Rusere misses a sitter after being put through
78" Michael Ngwena to replace the injured Praise Tonha, as the ambulance leaves the pitch side
77" Zimbabwe player being ferried to hospital with an unconfirmed injury play still to resume
72" It seems a Zimbabwe player has sustained a serious injury as he remains down and the game has been stopped
71" Injury forced stoppages are not helping the situation with the crowd in the eastern stand breaking into song and dance to add a bit of excitement
65" The game has degenerated into a damp squib although Swaziland seem to be making inroads, Zimbabwe responds by pulling out Wisdom Mutasa for Livingstone Genti
60" Swaziland pull out Sandile Gamedze and replace him with Ciniso Shabangu
55" Zimbabwe almost get a second as new substitute, Carlos Rusere who replaced Takudzwa Mahori a minute ago, ghosts in from the left side but is thwarted while at the opposite end the Swazi fire straight at the Zim keeper
46" Zimbabwe immediately on the attack as the second half resumes
Zimbabwe started brightly but the game has drifted in an out since that 10th minute goal from Walter Musona. As it stands, Swaziland will be eliminated unless if they conjure a fight back in the second half.
HALF TIME
42" Free kick for Swaziland in a promising position but Zimbabwe clear
30" Walter Musona, young brother to Kaizer Chiefs striker, Knowledge, is the man to watch here with his swift movements in that advanced attacking midfield position
25" Swazi keeper, Phila Mamba down injured after collecting a high ball from a corner
16" Zimbabwe should have surged further ahead but Wisdom Mutasa and Pritchard Mpelele conspired to miss glaring opportunities in succession
10" GOAL: Walter Musona atones for the poor free kick with a header at the far post to thrust Zimbabwe ahead. 1-0.
8" Zimbabwe wins a free kick right on the edge of the box, a routine meeting is converged before Walter Musona pumps his effort off target
6" Wisdom Mutasa drives Zimbabwe's first shot in anger over the bar
4" Zimbabwe on the ascendancy early on, winning the first corner of the match in the process
1' Swaziland in all white will get the game underway knowing anything short of victory will send them back home. Zimbabwe are attacking the northern end in their all green strip
Teams out on the pitch for national anthems
