Warriors coach Michael Nees admitted Zimbabwe’s biggest weakness is their lack of attacking power after finishing their 2026 World Cup Qualifiers winless with a 1–0 defeat to Lesotho. The team managed just five goals in ten matches, conceding 12 — the worst goal difference in Group C. Nees said he plans to test new forwards in the next international window as he looks to improve creativity and finishing ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking after the match, Nees said he plans to fix the team’s goal-scoring problem by testing new forwards in the next international window ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. “Maybe during the next international break we’ll try a few different players up front,” he said. “We need to find a way to get the ball into the back of the net — it’s about creating and finishing our chances more effectively.”
