00:00We are hoping to win a medal for a third tournament in succession as we get underway here in Casablanca.
00:21It was a privilege for me to be joined by a four-time WAF current winner.
00:26First in interim capacity back in 2016 and permanently in 2018.
00:31She's been at the helm for many years as Moclalo. Let's fly.
00:35That one bending away from goals to the group stages as they apply a little bit of pressure here through Alice Kusi.
00:42Digs out across brilliantly and then...
00:44That one has been forced over the top.
00:49It was a wonderful opportunity, the best of the game so far.
00:52Doris Badua will feel as though she should be doing a lot better with that.
00:58Oh, well, what an opportunity that is and great work from Kusi.
01:04Kusi, I mean, she's had a very brilliant game since this tournament.
01:09She's got a top scorer with two goals. What a work she did there and then...
01:14Prakir...
01:16Got a decent take! And it's just past the upright.
01:18Well, the best two chances of the game by far have belonged to the Black Queens.
01:26Yeah, I mean, the Blackwins are throwing in everything. That was a good ball and a good contact from Kursi, but the direction wasn't there. She should have returned that ball the same way it came, you know. But all in all, you see Ghana from their house. They just keep giving them pressure.
01:49A little flick. Glamini felt compelled to try and put a glove on that, which she didn't. There will be a goal kick.
01:58Another good cross. Will be kept alive. So an opportunity to get it back in, repelled by Gamede.
02:18And then from distance. Struck by Asantewa. And as she did in a match day one encounter, testing Glamini from distance, although this is a fairly routine.
02:34Play continues. Hilda Magaya.
02:38And Conlon there first, ahead of Jermaine Sipusenwe.
02:48Well, that's a good move from Sipusenwe. I mean, the first time we've seen South Africa towards the Ghana defense in the last 10-15 minutes.
03:11And that was a very positive move from South Africa.
03:15On her bike.
03:19Looking for an option.
03:20And this cross almost breaks kindly to Shantou.
03:30Conlon caught in possession.
03:34And rolled in.
03:36Well, Jermaine Sipusenwe.
03:39Hassled and harried and
03:40a broke kindly
03:42form Tundi
03:44who still had to hold her nerve
03:48and get that one right.
03:51But she scores
03:52her third international goal.
03:56Stroking it into an open net.
03:57I mean, as a goalkeeper, you don't punish your team like this.
04:11Ghana have done everything right up until this point.
04:14And then, as a goalkeeper, you don't have any business doing that.
04:20I mean, clear the ball, play it out, whatever you have to do.
04:23And that was a gift.
04:25That was a gift from the Gobi battle.
04:28It's audacious, but pretty clever thinking.
04:33Yeah, it was a clever thinking.
04:35And that's a halftime whistle.
04:40Well, South Africa is taking the lead.
04:43They are winning one-heel after a huge mistake by the goalie.
04:49So, they are one step closer to the third place of this competition.
04:54Unsurprising that the teams would refresh at the halftime break.
05:06Again, for a variety of reasons, but good to give.
05:12That's kind of setting it back here for Hilda Magaia,
05:18who squeezed past a couple of players and then drilled a shot goalwards.
05:23You see, rolled into space here for Arubaya.
05:28Stands up across.
05:29And ever so close to leveling matters.
05:34As the two substitutes sought to link up Evelyn Baru is earning her 30th cap tonight.
05:44Steering it wide of the mark via her head.
05:48Oh, it's close.
05:49What an effort. What an effort that was.
05:51What an effort. What an effort. What an effort that was. I mean.
05:59What has been good from Ghana so far.
06:01It's another excellent one.
06:04And for the third time in this match,
06:08a well-met set piece
06:11goes flying past the upright.
06:16It's a good-looking delivery and it is in.
06:30Ghana have found a deserved equalizer.
06:35And they profit from an avenue that has been very testing for South Africa up to this point.
06:43And that is the deliveries from out wide.
06:47And perhaps
06:47the player who
06:50has been the liveliest on the park
06:52for Ghana at the very least,
06:55but possibly for both teams,
06:57Alex Koussi is claiming it.
07:05Yeah.
07:05Yeah, it was Koussi's goal.
07:07I mean,
07:08Ghana,
07:09they've pushed everything forward.
07:11They've been sending in those
07:13aerial balls.
07:15Boye,
07:16low-cap,
07:16good delivery
07:17and good
07:18contest from Koussi.
07:21And, I mean,
07:22she's been Ghana's top scorer in this tournament,
07:24getting another goal to her name,
07:26three goals.
07:27She's got more goals than every other Ghana player on this goal.
07:30What a well-deserved equalizer because they've really been pushing for it and finally we've got it.
07:36Mike O'Donnell's own goal comes off the upright and looked as though it might have been heading out and not in.
07:41And it's off the glove of Andilet Lamini.
07:45I wouldn't be surprised if it's ruled an own goal.
07:48Strong ball forward from Bwakia.
07:55Had a bear.
07:56Ooh.
07:59Domete delivers.
08:02They'll be knocked back across.
08:03Goal!
08:04Whoa!
08:05Wide at the mark
08:06from Baminanimbane.
08:08They're against
08:09of their alterations.
08:13Now they look to capitalize.
08:14Lamini flies across goal to
08:17make sure that
08:20she prevents any
08:24potential danger materializing here.
08:29And
08:29Adobert has been a real nuisance since she came on.
08:35Now the ball is squirted through here
08:37for the winner out of the crossbar.
08:40Kusi has
08:41of South Africa
08:42in the dying seconds
08:43of this
08:45battle for bronze.
08:51Badi have looked the most likely in this Guyanian side.
08:54And since she came on,
08:57she's been pushing.
08:58And I mean
08:58has failed previously,
09:00famously in the 2018 final.
09:02But this time
09:03she gets it absolutely right.
09:06That is her
09:07preferred place
09:09to
09:10put the spot kick.
09:12And it's so well placed
09:14that
09:14even had
09:15Connelly's time.
09:16Bois Loka.
09:18Oh!
09:18And she's denied.
09:20Andi Litlamini
09:21for the third time
09:23in this tournament.
09:24Twice against Senegal.
09:25And now
09:26the opening kick
09:28in the bronze medal match
09:30against Ghana
09:31has saved.
09:34She did convert
09:35against Algeria,
09:37but she can't
09:37against South Africa
09:38to create as much
09:40distracting noise
09:42as they can.
09:43But
09:43she will not be
09:45deterred,
09:46not one bit.
09:47And South Africa
09:48lead 2-0
09:49in the shootouts
09:50with a Black Queen's
09:52kick to come.
09:59They were initially
10:00level before
10:00things went awry
10:01for them.
10:03And this
10:04she gets right
10:06as well,
10:06so
10:07they stay in it.
10:08It would have been
10:15a shame
10:15for her to miss
10:16after such a
10:16fabulous outing
10:17tonight.
10:18Exactly.
10:22Slowly
10:23sidles up
10:24and
10:24her penalty
10:27is saved.
10:29Well,
10:31overcome with
10:32relief
10:32is
10:33Chantal
10:34Bois Loka.
10:36Things are
10:36level again.
10:38And often
10:40when players
10:41over-elaborate
10:42on the run-up,
10:43this is the
10:44to grab
10:49the advantage
10:50which they
10:52duly do.
10:53Josephine
10:54Bonsu
10:54who has now
10:56scored from
10:57the spots
10:58in three
10:58successive
10:59penalty shootouts
11:00makes no mistake
11:02worth an
11:03excellent pen.
11:05It was.
11:05It was.
11:06And now
11:06they are back
11:07on level.
11:08trying to help
11:12her team
11:12to bronze.
11:15Oh,
11:15Magaya's
11:15denied.
11:19Well,
11:20what was she
11:20trying to do
11:21there?
11:24A
11:24simply
11:25bizarre
11:26choice
11:27in terms
11:29of
11:29taking
11:30the kick.
11:32She's got
11:33it all
11:33wrong.
11:33I think she
11:35tried to
11:36disguise
11:36what foot
11:37she was
11:37going to
11:37take it
11:37with.
11:39To give
11:40Ghana
11:40the advantage
11:41Kamini
11:42saves.
11:43And it is
11:44level once
11:45again.
11:47So after
11:48eight spot
11:49kicks taken,
11:50just four
11:52have been
11:53successful
11:53as Jennifer
11:54Kujo
11:55is the
11:55latest
11:56to be
11:56denied.

11:59there's
12:01going to
12:01be a
12:02replay
12:02that
12:03many
12:03will
