FULL-TIME, CONGO 1-1 SOUTH AFRICA. That's the ballgame! A tough and bustling match that perhaps deservedly ends in a draw as Congo stood up to Bafana in front of their home crowd and showed them what they are made of. Bafana's qualification is not yet assured, but it was clearly challenging playing on that pitch. Overall a really good contest that offered up some great football action. Hope you enjoyed following the the action with us, and here's to a great sporting week ahead.
GOOD MOVE! Congo work the ball up to the Bafana box, there are two good passes, then a short pass for Mbemba to step into and SHOOTbut a Bafana defender steps in just in time to block the shot. Mbemba was perfectly positioned to curl it to the right side of the Bafana goal.
Congo the the corner, but Bafana run the ball out of the box and then win a free-kick. Williams comes well out of his box to take the kick. It's long and into the Congo box, where Vimalin rises to collect the ball.
MISSED! Bafana storm into the Congo box, there's a ball played across the six-yard box with two strikers waiting for it, but it's intercepted by a Congo defender and then Vimalin smacks it upfield. Not a easy chance as the box was congested, but Bafana will be kicking themselves for not having converted what was a very promising position.
Lovely driving run from Ganvoula, sliding into the right of the Bafana box with a defender on his pockethe flashes a shot on goal but it skids wide, Williams doing well to make the narrow angle look even more difficult.
