The half time whistle blows and Phala receives a yellow card just before the break, and Bafana Bafana lead! If they can keep a clean sheet in the second half, they’re through!

The real moment of brilliance was Khumalo’s clearance beforehand however, as an interception to head a Tamboura cross clear of danger.

Rantie scores! He was at the right place at the right time at the back post to tap home a Parker squared ball!

There was also a bad decision from Mahlangu! Instead of crossing the ball to the back post for his pass it was too weak and he had puts his team mates into trouble.

Despite losing Samba Diakite to injury, Mali most definitely are not out of this match! Although Samassa looks isolated up front on his own, there have been some promising moments – mainly coming from the left-back Tamboura
