Angola and Zimbabwe played out a 1–1 draw in their Group B match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, with both sides still searching for their first win of the tournament.
Angola took the lead midway through the first half when Gelson Dala calmly finished a well-timed pass to put his team ahead after sustained early pressure.
Zimbabwe responded just before halftime, as Knowledge Musona struck in stoppage time to restore parity following a swift counter-attack. The goal shifted momentum and ensured the teams went into the break level after an evenly contested opening period.
The second half saw Angola dominate possession and push for a winner, but Zimbabwe’s defence held firm while remaining a threat on the counter.
Despite late pressure and added time, neither side could find a decisive goal, leaving both teams with a single point as qualification hopes now hinge on upcoming group matches.
