Match Info

Benin edged Zimbabwe 1-0 in a tightly contested FIFA World Cup CAF qualification fixture on September 6, 2025. A solitary goal was enough for the home side to claim all three points in a match defined by disciplined defending and few clear-cut chances. The decisive moment came in the second half when Benin broke the deadlock following a sustained period of pressure, with the Zimbabwean defense finally breached. Zimbabwe pushed for an equalizer in the closing stages but found the Benin backline organized and difficult to penetrate. The narrow victory provided a crucial boost for Benin's qualification campaign, moving them into a stronger position in the group standings, while Zimbabwe was left to rue missed opportunities in front of goal. Both managers acknowledged the tense nature of the contest, with the Benin coach highlighting his team's patience and the Zimbabwean boss pointing to a lack of cutting edge in the final third.
