Musona the Hero as Zimbabwe Snatch Point

Zimbabwe captain Knowledge Musona scored a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer to earn the Warriors a 1-1 draw against Angola in their Group B fixture at AFCON 2025 on December 26, 2025.

Angola took the lead through Gelson Dala in the first half, finishing clinically after a swift counter-attack.

The veteran forward rose highest in added time to head home a cross, sparking jubilant scenes among the Warriors’ bench and fans.

Both teams now have one point in Group B, trailing Egypt (3 points after Salah-inspired win) and South Africa (3 points after comeback vs Angola).

A vital point for Zimbabwe’s progression hopes and a reminder of Musona’s enduring class at 35.
