00:00 [crowd cheering]

00:03 In the yellow and green, in Namibia.

00:19 In a very interesting white and red shorts here.

00:23 Instantly off onto the chest, they'll be looking to press this one very hard.

00:27 The big stage, nice interception, but they lose the ball instantly.

00:31 Peter Shalulile once again gets onto the ball, tries to look for the one-two opening at the ball.

00:37 Sits well. Ronwen Williams does well enough as Prince.

00:43 Now for Pasital.

00:45 The searching cross into the box, that looked like an unstretched leap.

00:50 A referee saw no problem with that.

00:54 Long ball, trying to get to this one. Shalulile battling here.

00:58 Shalulile has a chance!

01:00 Shalulile never want to shrink away from putting in a considerable output.

01:05 As the ball builds for a corner.

01:09 Referee will think nothing of it.

01:12 Peter Shalulile had about six shots on target.

01:18 Now wait for VAR to ascertain what happened there.

01:22 Looks like there was a handball there.

01:24 We might have a spot of bother here.

01:27 Ryan Anamu.

01:29 There we go.

01:30 Well, it looks like prayers might have to be supplicated right now.

01:36 As the referee will now check the pitch side monitor for the VAR.

01:42 My word, that looks like a penalty.

01:44 It's too bad, with every angle seems to bring a different question.

01:50 Well, the referee takes his look and the decision is made.

01:55 It will be from the penalty spot.

01:57 ...against Tunisia. Can he pull the heroics once again?

02:03 Tao makes the run up.

02:06 Makes no mistake this time.

02:08 And it is into the back of the net.

02:11 The first goal for Bafana Bafana at the African Cup of Nations.

02:16 But in a hasty fashion.

02:20 Clearly see, he already made up his mind, set the goalkeeper.

02:23 Knew exactly where that was going, but it was too hard and too low.

02:27 Absolutely magnificent. Just takes a small bounce.

02:31 Gets to start it off quickly again.

02:33 The searching ball looking for Dion Hotto.

02:35 Heads it for Shalulile.

02:37 Shalulile still has the ball. Teases it out here.

02:40 Cut back in.

02:43 He tried to drag that shot in, but somehow it just wasn't to be.

02:48 Forward pass. Unable to withhold.

02:53 Dion Hotto looks to intercept and once again instigating another attack.

02:57 Quick pick up here. Chance for a cut in.

03:00 Two players and none able to tap it in.

03:03 Easier to hit than to miss.

03:06 Exactly. Ronnie, the Magna Canalero, the assistant coach.

03:11 Frustrated with chance after chance at Namibia's creating.

03:15 And exactly like we said, to pick up that second ball.

03:19 Shetembe that time around, wonderful.

03:21 Picked it up, recycled that ball. Another opportunity from the left side.

03:25 Back to Kekana.

03:28 Launches a ball forward for Tapelo.

03:31 Morena, can he whip in across? Cut back!

03:34 And they make it count!

03:37 The gods have spoken!

03:39 Liberty, Musishi, as is known.

03:43 Zouane coming late. Perfect.

03:47 Well, there were questions on whether they had the firepower to deliver the goods.

03:53 It's an emphatic yes at the moment as the evergreen Temba Zouane

03:59 gets his first goal as well for South Africa in the African Cup of Nations 2023.

04:06 Deal with the Orlando Pirates man.

04:09 Ball whipped in! And that could have easily been three.

04:14 Very, very close. It doesn't get any closer than that.

04:18 Chance after chance for South Africa.

04:21 Two chances in a minute or so.

04:25 And two miscalculated.

04:29 Younger fullback here.

04:33 But now they lose possession and a chance to venture forward.

04:36 Zouane still in possession. Tries to take it on his own!

04:39 And he delivers!

04:42 That is a masterclass from the immortal!

04:46 They've constantly talked about the fact that he reinvents himself.

04:50 He constantly seeks to renew his abilities.

04:54 It's almost like a Benjamin Button case.

04:57 Gets younger as he gets older.

05:00 Had been dropped from the team originally.

05:03 But the coach saw the error of his ways and returned him to the original line-up here.

05:08 And has he rewarded that faith?

05:11 Two goals to the good. South Africa are up, over and away.

05:15 Was at the heart of the counter-attack.

05:18 This time his pass is poor but the follow-up plays brilliant.

05:21 Blistering pace. They have options.

05:24 Now spreading it out onto the wing. Could be another chance here.

05:27 Tau, evidence. Magopa!

05:30 Over the bar. South Africa are on rampage.

05:35 Against Mali, they also had a very good first half.

05:38 Crossing. Goalkeeper punches away from the free kick.

05:41 A chance here to pick up the pieces.

05:44 Excellent cross. First time instinct. And Hoto!

05:47 Tries to set the ball in. Player goes down.

05:52 Firepower in midfield. In Gero Katua.

05:57 My apologies.

05:59 Well, you won't be the only one making a bit of a slip.

06:02 Might not want to really step on these toes.

06:05 As a chance comes up here. Quick breakthrough and a chance.

06:08 Shot straight.

06:10 Straight to the goalkeeper. Right down the middle.

06:13 Tapelo Morena.

06:15 Here comes Mude. Taking Mbodeba for a run.

06:18 Incisive pass there. Manages to find his way forward.

06:22 And now this could be an invitation.

06:25 Once again looking for Shalulile.

06:29 And Ronwen Williams knew exactly who that ball would be going to.

06:34 Once again looking to break Mbodeba.

06:37 Good presence of mind. Just lobs that ball into space.

06:40 It's actually Shalulile lobbing it here for Mbodeba.

06:43 Mbodeba taps it on for Hoto.

06:46 Back to Mbodeba. Good opportunity.

06:49 And again another chance.

06:52 Well, it now is quickly becoming their Achilles heel.

06:56 Peter Shalulile.

06:58 Even Ronwen Williams was looking for the star man.

07:01 That first post was a good opportunity for Mbodeba to just drill that ball into that near post.

07:07 Unfortunately, he's looking for Shalulile.

07:12 [Whistle]

07:14 Oh-oh.

07:16 Buena. Decides to cross it straight.

07:19 But that just goes to the hand of the goalkeeper.

07:22 Exactly. Also change positions now with the substitutions.

07:26 That's a long ball. He's played through. Now a chance here once again to break.

07:29 And could it turn to four?

07:31 It definitely does.

07:33 Icing on the cake.

07:36 And an inspired substitution.

07:39 As Dabelo Masako turns three to four.

07:44 Relief. The Bafana Bafana are finally back in stride.

07:49 It was a swift turn that allowed them to free themselves up.

07:53 And the danger of being the team on the back foot came rearing its ugly head here for Namibia.

08:00 They had to push numbers forward.

08:02 And when caught on a speedy counter attack with a blistering shot,

08:07 Kadapua did as good as he could.

08:09 Kick. For just about eight minutes of normal time.

08:13 Whipped in.

08:15 That just veers off course and out.

08:20 You leave it on the pitch.

08:23 And you move forward and you prepare.

08:25 Oh, South Africa not yet done with this game.

08:27 They still want to create some extra moments.

08:30 But that's a very heavy touch from Passi Tau.

08:33 Famous drawing board tomorrow.

08:36 Ambella to Passi Tau. Back to Mayambela.

08:40 Bigger sport. Big star again.

08:43 Getting it on.

08:44 Moquena! With a scorcher.

08:47 Unfortunately.

08:50 The winner of the game, team of Kadapua,

08:54 for New Zealand, the United States of America.
