Khama Billiat<\/a> while the visitors got the consolation from Abduli Mohammed.<\/p>\nZimbabwe progressed through to the next round of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers after beating Somalia 3-1 to record a 3-2 aggregate win on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Warriors got their goals late in the game from Marshall Munetsi, Knox Mutizwa and Khama Billiat while the visitors got the consolation from Abdul Mohammed.<\/p>\n
Despite controlling the opening of the game, the hosts only managed to create their first meaningful attempt at goal on the quarter-hour mark when Evan Rusike\u2019s shot from a close range was tipped over.<\/p>\n
They followed up with a couple of attacks but failed to execute them as the Somali goalkeeper stood his ground with the aid of his defence.<\/p>\n
Ovidy Karuru had the best opportunity falling on his way towards the break, but his close-range strike in front of the goal was blocked by the keeper. Divine Lunga also got a good chance a few moments later but his first time shot inside the box went wide.<\/p>\n
At the other end, the Ocean Stars never made any threatening raid with their only first-half chance coming in the 21st minute but the effort went wide.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe continued with their dominance in the second period, and again, they were failing to break the deadlock.<\/p>\n
However, on minute 76, they finally found their breakthrough when Munetsi finished off a corner-kick with an acrobatic kick.<\/p>\n
But the relief quickly faded away after Teenage Hadebe made a mistake at the back which resulted in a goal six minutes later.<\/p>\n
The Warriors responded swiftly a minute later and restored their lead in the game when Mutizwa\u2019s free-kick from the edge of the box took a deflection on its way to the back of the net.<\/p>\n
The Golden Arrows man then set up Billiat in the added time who killed the contest by burying his effort into the top right corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
