SA roll over Mozambique in AFCON warm-up

  Mon, 14 Jan 2008

Sibusiso Zuma marked his 60th senior cap with a fine goal as South Africa warmed up for the MTN Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-0 win over regional neighbours Mozambique in Durban on Sunday.

After wasting a glut of scoring chances, South Africa finally broke the deadlock just past the hour mark when Zuma fired home a crisp left-footed shot from a tight angle.

Substitute Lerato Chabangu added a second from close range in injury time, as the hosts wrapped up a somewhat difficult win against their defensive opponents, the best movers on FIFA?s world rankings for 2007.

South Africa have a further warm up match in Durban on Wednesday against Botswana, before flying out to Ghana for the Nations Cup finals.

Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira?s team kick off their tournament against Angola in Tamale on January 23.
