In the COSAFA Cup match between Mauritius and Zimbabwe, a goalless draw reflected both teams' challenges in breaking through sturdy defensive setups. Mauritius struggled offensively, managing only one corner kick compared to Zimbabwe’s five. This disparity indicates Zimbabwe's ability to apply more pressure in the attacking third, although they were unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities.

Despite aiming to establish dominance, Zimbabwe was flagged offside three times, which hindered their attacking momentum. This suggests that while they were more forward-thinking, their timing and coordination in frontline plays were not optimal. Mauritius maintained better discipline in this regard, being caught offside just once, which perhaps reflects a more cautious or restrained attacking approach.

Defensively, Mauritius managed to avoid significant disciplinary issues, with only one yellow card shown, and remained free of red cards, maintaining eleven players on the pitch. In contrast, Zimbabwe demonstrated superior discipline with a clean sheet in fouls and cards, allowing them to sustain their gameplay pressure consistently throughout the match. The lack of goals was not due to a lack of ambition but rather a combination of resilient defenses and an inability to convert opportunities into decisive actions.
