Zimbabwe were stunned by lowly Somalia in Friday’s African World Cup qualifying campaign, while there were big wins for Rwanda and Sudan as the continent’s teams took their maiden steps on the road to Qatar.
The Warriors, who were eliminated in the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt this summer, were defeated 1-0 by Bashir Hayford's Somalia in neutral Djibouti to leave themselves with much work to do heading into Sunday’s second leg in Bulawayo.
The victory was Somali's first in a qualifying game since they defeated Kenya in Africa Cup of nations qualifying in 1984.
