JOHANNESBURG: South Africa were held 1-1 by Ethiopia and Zimbabwelost 1-0 to Guinea Sunday in home 2014 World Cup qualifiers on adismal day for countries from the south of the continent. Salahdin Said gave the impressive Ethiopians the lead beforehalf-time at Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace in north-west mining townRustenburg, which they held until late in the second half whenKatlego Mphela levelled. Ibrahima Traore fired a first-half free kick into the top corner ofthe net at the National Stadium in Harare to get the Guineancampaign off to a great start ahead of a home clash with Egypt nextweekend. South African supporters joke that the only way Bafana Bafana (TheBoys) can play in a major tournament is by staging it and the 2010World Cup hosts looked far from a team capable of reaching the nextfinals in Brazil. The top Group A seeds only threatened the supremely fit,well-organised visitors from free kicks with midfielder StevenPienaar and striker Mphela troubling goalkeeper Sesay Basa. Ethiopia took the lead on 28 minutes as Egypt-based striker Saidintercepted a careless midfield pass from Siphiwe Tshabalala, heldoff the challenge of centre-back Bongani Khumalo and rifled theball past Itumeleng Khune. Recalled 34-year-old striker Siyabonga Nomvethe was having noimpact up front for South Africa while Said was always dangerous asthe second half wore on and the Black Lions became increasinglyadventurous in search of a second goal. But a rare slip by an Ethiopian defender 13 minutes from time letin Mphela to curl the ball past Basa and into the far corner of thenet for a fortunate share of the points before facing Botswana inGaborone next Saturday. Coach Pitso Mosimane said he remained confident South Africa wouldtop a pool completed by the Central African Republic, whocelebrated a first World Cup qualifying victory by overcomingBotswana 2-0 in Bangui on Saturday. Rival coach Sewnet Bishaw lamented the mistake that led to theequaliser and deprived Ethiopia of a first World Cup qualifyingvictory on the road in 14 attempts. Germany-based striker Traore struck on 25 minutes in Harare whileZimbabwe had a goal disallowed and striker Knowledge Musona wastedseveral chances to salvage a point. With Egypt scoring twice in the second half to down Mozambique 2-0behind closed door in Alexandria, the stage is set for atop-of-the-table showdown between the National Elephant and thePharaohs in Conakry next Sunday. - AFP/de.
