Mushangazhike gave Zimbabwe the lead in the first half
|
South Africa needed a last-minute own goal to overcome neighbours Zimbabwe 2-1 in a hastily-arranged friendly in Germiston on Tuesday.
South Africa coach Carlos Alberto Parreira picked an experimental side from home-based players for the match.
Both teams used the game as part of their preparations for the upcoming 2010 World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Zimbabwe led at half-time through a Gilbert Mushangazhike 12th minute goal.
But debutant Sthembiso Ngcobo equalised from a rebound with 17 minutes left.
Zimbabwe defender James Matola then turned a cross into his
own net to give the home team the win.
South Africa host Paraguay in Pretoria in a fortnight.
