Botswana were the surprise team of the first round of matches when they gave World Cup quarter-finalists Ghana a run for their money on Tuesday. Even though the Zebras lost 1-0, they proved that they were not pushovers and showed how much the smaller African countries have developed.

The debutants showed the reason why they were the first team to qualify for the tournament as they played the Ghanaians in a pulsating game and only lost courtesy of a scrambled goal off a corner kick from John Mensah. The Zebra’s forward man Jerome Ramatlhakwane was on his way to put them equal when he was brought down by goal scorer Mensah, who was promptly given his matching orders.

They will face the Syli Natonale of Guinea who also lost their opening match 1-0 to Mali. This game is shaping up to be a winner takes all affair, with the losers sure to be eliminated, while the three points for the win may still allow for survival in a group that contains favourites Ghana.

The Guineans saw their hard work against Mali undone by a fierce shot from Bakaye Traore. It means that they are staring at a potential group stage exit for the first time since 2004, as they have always reached the quarter-finals of the competition, aside from in 2010 when they did not qualify.

Michel Dussuyer’s men came into this competition on the back of their famous knocking out of giants Nigeria in qualifying and should be able to hold their own against Bostwana, who also held the Super Eagles to a goalless draw in a recent friendly.
