Motherwell winger Tawanda Maswanhise announced himself on the international stage with a breathtaking Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) goal that is already being talked about as a contender for the strike of the tournament. The Scottish Premiership star, who has been in prolific domestic form, translated that confidence seamlessly into the AFCON as Zimbabwe faced South Africa in a Group B encounter on Monday.

Rivalry, pressure and qualification urgency collided, promising drama, intensity and a battle with everything on the line - a contest where victory meant keeping their campaign alive and pushing their run deeper into the competition.
