Bafana Bafana will have to win their match against Zimbabwe on Thursday night to have a chance of winning Group G in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers after Ethiopia did them a huge favour by holding Ghana to a 1-1 draw in an earlier match at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

Ethiopia had no business disturbing Ghana in winning the match, as they are already out of the running for Qatar, but Ethiopian skipper Getaneh Kebede cancelled Ghana’s first-half lead with a well-taken strike in the 79th minute. There was always a chance that Ghana could extend the lead with Ayew’s brother Jordan, Mohammed Kudus, and Richmond Boakye all looking dangerous in and around the Ethiopian penalty area.

Ten minutes later, there was no chance of Wollacott denying Kebede, who finished with aplomb inside the area after an exciting build-up. After struggling to stamp their authority in the group, Ghana appointed their 2010 World Cup coach, Serbian Milovan Rajevac, 67, in October, replacing Charles Akonnor, who succeded Kwesi Appiah in 2020.
