It is half-time at Isaac Wolfson Stadium in Port Elizabeth where South Africa have negotiated for goalless with Zambia, as Eswatini are leading 1-0 against Botswana.
South Africa are playing a mere academic match but there is all to play for Zambia in this Group A contest.
Bafana Bafana sealed their semifinal slot on Tuesday after thumping Lesotho 4-0 to take their tally to unassailable nine points.
However, Zambia need a win at all cost and pray that Eswatini should lose to Botswana also this afternoon in another match for the group.
Zambia and Botswana have three points each whereas Eswatini have six points.
A win for the Chipolopolo can see them through on superior head-head record over Eswatini.
However, if Eswatini beat Botswana, then it is all over for Zambia with head-to-head left to separate Sihlangu and the Zebras.
At the moment, Sabelo Ndzinisa has put Eswatini in the lead and this spells doom for Zambia.
Chipolopolo lost their two opening matches in the group before resurrecting their campaign with a 2-1 win over Botswana on Tuesday.
