Kaizer Chiefs forward Bernard Parker bagged a late brace after first-half efforts from Kermit Erasmus and Dean Furman, while ex-Santos striker Jerome Ramatlhakwane netted for the Zebras at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium. Tshosane said afterwards: “Ja, we expected this. We had a very good plan. We managed to contain them until about 20 or 30 minutes. Today I think South Africa were very lucky. The goals were a bonus from my players. I don’t know what went wrong, but we will try and work on it.”
Tshosane’s men ended third in Group A with seven points – six points adrift of winners Ethiopia, four behind Bafana, and four ahead of bottom-placed Central African Republic.
