ZIMBABWE could get a lifeline in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers if South Africa is sanctioned for allegedly using a player supposed to have been on suspension.
Mamelodi Sundowns Teboho Mokoena had accumulated two yellow cards in the build-up to the Lesotho 2-0 win.
However, there is a technicality that the issue was not reported during the stipulated window for protests.
That win over Lesotho took South Africa to the top of Group C with 10 points, seven ahead of bottom-placed Zimbabwe.
If Zimbabwe can win against Nigeria today while South Africa gets points deducted, the Warriors, at six points, will be firmly back in the race.
