Argyle's Galloway makes Afcon debut for Zimbabwe

Plymouth Argyle defender Brendan Galloway made his Africa Cup of Nations debut in Zimbabwe's 1-1 draw with Angola in Morocco.

The 29-year-old came on as a 37th-minute substitute for the injured Teenage Hadebe in the Group B fixture in Marrakesh.

Having gone a goal down before Galloway was introduced, Zimbabwe equalised deep in first-half stoppage time through Knowledge Musona.

Zimbabwe had chances to win the game after the break, but were grateful to Galloway as they secured their first point of the tournament when the Argyle defender made a key 90th-minute clearance as Angola went close to a winner.

Having missed out on Zimbabwe's last Afcon appearance almost four years ago due to injury Galloway was named in the Warriors' squad for the tournament earlier this month.

He was an unused substitute in his side's dramatic 2-1 loss to a Mohamed Salah-inspired Egypt earlier this week in the opening group match.

Zimbabwe face South Africa in their final pool game on Monday 29 December.
