    Brendan Galloway has played 16 times for Plymouth Argyle this season

    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.

    Brendan Galloway's last Zimbabwe cap came in a friendly against Algeria last month

    Plymouth Argyle defender Brendan Galloway was an unused substitute as his Zimbabwe team-mates lost 2-1 to Egypt in a dramatic Africa Cup of Nations opener.

    The Warriors led 1-0 at half-time thanks to Prince Dube's strike against the run of play midway through the first half.

    But Egypt piled on the pressure after the break with Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush equalising in the 64th minute before Liverpool star Mohamed Salah scored the winner in stoppage time.

    Galloway's next chance to play in the tournament comes on Friday when Zimbabwe face Angola at 12:30 GMT.
