Angola 2-1 Mighty Warriors
ISRAEL-BASED Ruvimbo Mucherera made a scoring debut albeit in a losing cause in an Africa Women’s Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola in Luanda, yesterday.
The result left the Zimbabwe ladies’ team with a tall order ahead of the return leg to be played in Pretoria next week.
Mucherera equalised in the 17th minute after the home team had capitalised on lapse of concentration in the first minute of the encounter.
This allowed Ary Papel to put Angola ahead barely a minute into kick off.
Usually when a team is scored in the first 15 minutes of the game or last, fitness issues be it physical or mental prop up.
Angola found cracks to score their second in the 75th minute to put a leg into the next round where Malawi, one of Africa’s rising powerhouses are waiting after going through following Congo’s withdrawal.
The qualifier comes at a time when the local league which provides most of the players is still off-season.
