The defeat has left Zimbabwe bottom of the group and they will be looking for their first win in the qualifier when they face Bafana Bafana on Tuesday.

Munetsi, who plays in Ligue 1 with Stade de Reims, feels the technology is needed in African football. 

 "We need VAR, especially in African football, because even when you to talk to the referee it's a difficult thing," the midfielder said, as per Soccer24.

"You try to ask him anything, the next thing he gives you a yellow card.

"For us it's difficult, we always cry about the situation, but it is also unfortunate because it was not on our side.

"Situations like those happen in football and sometimes I think the referee has also to come and allow us to ask."
