Zimbabwe will have to wait until the final match day in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier to book a place for Cameroon after they lost 1-0 to Liberia.

The first half was a tepid affair with both sides creating a handful of chances. Zimbabwe came closest when Tino Kadewere’s effort was diverted  for a corner. Later he would create space with fleet footed turn in the box but only to sky his shot over bar.

Zimbabwe would get punished in the second half. Kadewere missed a one on one chance after being set free, taking a hospital shot straight at the keeper. Liberia went straight to the other end and their skipper Jebor tapped the ball in from close range after a pass evaded the defence and keeper.

Zimbabwe tried to jack things up a bit but their key men Knowledge Musona and Khama Billiat played largely on the periphery of the game.

Zimbabwe are still in the driving seat and need  a point to book their spot.

In the other Group G match played today Congo Brazzaville drew 1-1 with Congo DRC.
