Fasten your seatbelts.
The moment of truth has arrived for the Warriors as Zimbabwe face South Africa in a winner-takes-all Africa Cup of Nations Group B showdown at the Grand Stade de Marrakech this evening.
Kick-off: 6pm CAT
It is a historic first — the cross-Limpopo rivals meeting on the AFCON finals stage — and all signs point to a fiery contest in Morocco’s famed “Red City.”
For Zimbabwe, the equation is simple.
Win or go home.
The Warriors sit on one point after a 2–1 defeat to Egypt and a 1–1 draw with Angola. Only victory keeps the AFCON dream alive.
South Africa, on three points, need just a draw — but tonight offers no room for caution.
The prize is a place in the Round of 16.
