Brave Fight

The Zebras maintained their position at the top of Group Seven after they held visiting Ivory Coast to a 1-1 draw in the 2010 World Cup/African Nations Cup qualifier at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Zebras top the group with five points from three outings, nudging the "Elephants" into second place on superior goal difference. Ahead of the weekend's game, the rampaging Ivorians were favourites to whitewash the speedy and fast-improving Zebras, but they were given a good run for their money. Missing a number of their key players amongst them star strikers Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou of English Premier League side Chelsea, the Elephants started the game cautiously not to concede an early goal.

Zebras came into the game fired up after their 2-1 away win in Mozambique and seemed destined to pull off another sensational result. Local supporters packed the National Stadium in large numbers, something that had not been seen when the Zebras were under sacked coach Colwyn Rowe's tutelage.
