00:00They have never gone toe-to-toe here.

00:03For Uganda, South Africa is the 19th different team

00:06they'll be facing at January for South Africa.

00:08It's their first match against an East African opponent

00:11and their very first match against a host nation at the tournament.

00:17As they emerge from the tunnels,

00:20young men finish the job to qualify for the quarterfinals.

00:26And we're underway right here at the Nelson Mandela Stadium

00:29the Uganda Cranes in the white and black

00:32taking on Bafana Bafana in the yellow and green.

00:36It's a quick throw-in, instantly started off here.

00:39Clean sheets for the very first time.

00:41It's a long ball is weaved in, but that's absolutely off-target.

00:46They might want to realign their bearings.

00:49Samokelo, Ulu, on to Keegan Yohannes.

00:54Yohannes.

00:58Oh, that's a dreadful pass in South Africa.

01:01Living very dangerously, very early in the game.

01:07Defenses barricading.

01:09Macheho trying to play Keegan Doley.

01:12Finding the captain of the Uganda Cranes, Roger Storach.

01:15Holds on to that ball, but he's dispossessed.

01:18The ball is tipped back.

01:20And Abdul Karim Watambala has been sloppy with his passes so far.

01:25He's placed a couple of them, about two so far.

01:27Sets the ball up onto the flank for Wade Euster.

01:30Gets on to the ball, tries to advance.

01:33Slippery surface.

01:35Had Regan punt away by Semugabi Jude.

01:39He's been very good at averting all those aerial threats

01:42in the set-piece situations.

01:45Shot from distance.

01:47Not on target.

01:48Plays an entire 90 minutes and he's asking for more.

01:51Here comes Kakande, the trickster.

01:53Let's return for Jude Semugabi to Alan Okelo.

01:55To the box area.

01:56Okelo twists one way, then the other.

01:58Takes the shot.

01:59Second bite of the cherry.

02:00Shot comes in.

02:01And a touch by Sam Okelo to Denon.

02:05South Africa, I'll say it again, living dangerously, surviving by the skin of their teeth.

02:13For the Uganda Cranes.

02:17If ifs and buts were Kandi and nuts, they would all have a grand treat and that would be a goal.

02:23It was an option for the short pass.

02:25And it's what is utilized here.

02:27Dolly.

02:29Back to Euster.

02:29Euma Ema.

02:32Goalkeeper makes a decision to come out.

02:35The ball was met there by Keegan.

02:38Johannes just couldn't direct it on target.

02:41And Joel Mutaku.

02:44Boy, he plays it short.

02:47Euma Ema.

02:48Nice to go headhunting there for Monyama.

02:53Have another chance to go at it.

02:54Diving header to switch the trajectory of the ball.

02:58Euma Ema.

03:03Launches a long searching ball.

03:05Looking for Terrence Macheho.

03:06Brings that under control.

03:08Now is he impeded fairly?

03:10Macheho feels that could have been a penalty.

03:12From Keegan Dolly.

03:14We have another look.

03:16Was onside.

03:17Brilliantly picked out pass there from Neuma Ema.

03:21Does the challenge just enough to put that into touch?

03:26It's a corner.

03:26It's according to the center referee.

03:31Looks like he didn't really get much of that.

03:34Managed to.

03:35Doesn't walk quickly retrieved by Semagana.

03:38This is Alan Okelo.

03:41To Jude Semugabe.

03:42Lanky legs could get him into the box area.

03:44Cuts back.

03:45Nobody was available for the follow-up there.

03:50Back to Keegan from Kutumela.

03:52Ludlu.

03:55Ludlu getting it on to Terrence Macheho.

03:57Fashions out a sneak pass.

03:59And now this could be the shot.

04:01Wrong-footed.

04:02Blade shot by Keegan Dolly.

04:04Looking to fashion that back in.

04:09That will only find the head of the defense.

04:12Now released out to the flank.

04:14The counter-attack is on.

04:15Regan Mpande sprinting into space.

04:18He has support.

04:19Kakande wants the ball.

04:20Jonathan Patrick Kakande.

04:21To tip it up.

04:23And Jude Semugabe.

04:26Puts the ball into the back of the net.

04:30A sweeping tempo for the cranes.

04:33And they lay down the gunlet.

04:36As always the willing runner.

04:38And we talked about the willy shapeshifter in Patrick Kakande.

04:43Just slipped into that space.

04:45The first time touch.

04:46Laying it to the path of Jude Semugabe.

04:48Not making the goalkeeper.

04:50Slam.

04:51Bang.

04:53You're going to cranes one.

04:55South Africa.

04:55Bafana Bafana.

04:57Nil.

05:03Throw it.

05:06Fuki Gondoli.

05:07Tries to cut the ball.

05:08And that's a fine save.

05:10Joel Mutakuwa.

05:12Almost side-footed by his own team.

05:14A deflection of almighty proportions.

05:18Ooh.

05:19They must keep that at bay.

05:21They must pray that those slip-ups.

05:26And it's a bit difficult here keeping clean sheets.

05:31Brushed off header at the near post.

05:33Hillary Mokundane.

05:34Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth with the way he's playing right now.

05:38Cool as ice.

05:39The ball goes over the line for a throw-in.

05:44The referee will allow the two teams to depart from the playing field and head down to the tunnel with two very contrasting scenarios.

05:53The second half gets underway right here at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

06:04The two teams back on the pitch and the referee gets it underway.

06:07Forty-five more minutes.

06:11Spread through the center.

06:12Nice back heel there from Dludlu.

06:14Now Wade Euster.

06:15He's on the ball.

06:17Euster.

06:18Looks to launch that straight to the hands of...

06:22A ball traveling sweetly for him.

06:26And looked like it had slipped past him and almost lost it.

06:30Ooh.

06:31That would have been a horror show here.

06:33The lows of the game.

06:34Going for the far post.

06:40Mutakuba brushes and a ball is tipped in.

06:43Well, will it count?

06:44The offside flag comes up and that will not count.

06:49Oh, the Uganda cranes have just been handed a get-out-of-jail-free card.

06:55Another look at a very exquisitely crafted chance.

06:58It came through.

07:00And yes, that will count definitely as an offside.

07:02John Mutakuba was on the ground.

07:05And there were a couple of players here as Mapelele.

07:09Well, stabbed that home.

07:13Malefi Nseki takes time to issue a few instructions.

07:19And the decision is made by the video assistant referee.

07:23South Africa have managed to...

07:26And that's one that is hasty and a chance in the box area.

07:31Rifles the ball into the back of the net.

07:33And the South Africans have turned it around.

07:37Tabiso Kutumela stabs home while the cranes were in complete disarray.

07:45Well, his reputation should have been enough to own the crane.

07:49Instructing.

07:49That's the presence of mind.

07:52That's the sense of skill.

07:54That's a predatory instinct.

07:57Kutumela.

07:58One touch.

07:59One shot.

08:00Into the back of the net.

08:01And the Bafana Bafana have turned the tables around here at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

08:06Because stunners.

08:09Two in quick succession.

08:10Two goals in rapid succession.

08:12The cranes have been left sprawling as Jude Semugabe gets a header.

08:18That's left to just roll out here.

08:20Gets onto the ball.

08:21Attempts the back heel.

08:22Made use the tracking back well enough to block that.

08:24And now Keegan Dole looks to get onto acceleration mode.

08:29And gets the one, two.

08:30Keegan Dole is in open space.

08:31Keegan Dole.

08:32Ball served here.

08:33Well, if the cranes manage to get themselves back into the gate.

08:41Corner kick.

08:43Waved in.

08:44Looking to clear that.

08:46Little hesitant in moving that ball.

08:48But finally, they get it forward.

08:49Now, does he have the pace?

08:51Abu Karim Watambala looks to search that ball forward.

08:53But that's easy.

08:55He's taken away.

08:56You hope the scoreline stays.

08:58This was a chance.

08:58Comes up for the cranes.

08:59Quickly smothered.

09:00A shot from distance.

09:01Deflected.

09:02And that's a corner.

09:02Position.

09:04And ultimately, it's pocket picked here by Ndludlu.

09:07Who now launches the counter-attack.

09:08Keegan Dole makes the sprint.

09:11The ball is spaced out here to Tabiso Kutumela.

09:13Tries to cross the ball in.

09:15Joe Mutakuwa goes in.

09:17Well, he's left wandering about.

09:19Ndludlu will attempt to fashion out the charge.

09:25And it sinks the cranes.

09:30The battle has done it.

09:32The Mini Cooper has put the cranes to the sword.

09:37Exuded them.

09:38Another look at how the goal did come about.

09:39Joe Mutakuwa going walkers about.

09:42Keegan Dole smart enough to draw him out.

09:44And then, with time and space, makes no mistake, Ndludlu just launches that ball, angling it beautifully to the back of the net.

09:58To the dismay of the Uganda cranes and the millions of the Ugandans who are watching this game.

10:05Close, but not quite.

10:08South Africa 3.

10:10Uganda 1.

10:12That they had to deliver the Ugandan fans to the promised land of the quarterfinals.

10:20It looks like it will be another wait.

10:23And there's a foul here.

10:24And a penalty.

10:26It's not yet done.

10:29It's hardly done.

10:31Vincent Kabore.

10:32But the drama in this game is far from done.

10:36Ivan Ahimbe Sibwe.

10:39Well, he tends to pop up with the odd goal every time he's given the opportunity.

10:43That contact.

10:44Was it enough?

10:45Yes, there was.

10:46Steps back.

10:47Alan Okelo.

10:52Jolie buries it.

10:57Oh, hold your nerve.

11:00Hold your nerve.

11:01We're in for some squeaky bum time.

11:04The cranes pull back one.

11:06It's 3-2 and all to play for.

11:10With the time quickly spent, some fans who had exited returning.

11:15Alan Okelo pulls the cranes once again.

11:20Close.

11:22But do they have enough time?

11:24Do they have just enough time to seek one more goal?

11:29That's all they need.

11:30One of eight minutes added on to this game.

11:35Cross.

11:37Whipped away.

11:37The shot.

11:38Appeals for a penalty.

11:41The referee not giving that.

11:43The cranes trying to keep the move alive.

11:47Mukundane wants the ball.

11:48Achai.

11:48The shot takes a deflection here from Yunus' center move.

11:51Handball.

11:52We have another chance to look at it here.

11:54Mukundane took the shot.

11:57Ah, well, quite the scramble.

11:58Very difficult to tell.

12:00Well, maybe this angle might be a little clearer.

12:03Two minutes of an emotional rollercoaster.

12:06Nerves of steel.

12:09Hopes and benefits.

12:10The referee will make the track to the virtual video assistant referee monitor.

12:18Cranes and an internation.

12:20And that hand inadvertently hit his body.

12:26But that move right at the elbow.

12:31Right at the elbow.

12:33That's going to be a difficult, difficult moment to determine.

12:36To the pitch.

12:38And it is penalty for the Ugandacranes.

12:44The stadium is reverberating.

12:49South Africa cannot believe the cruel, cruel handball.

12:53All being the referee, Neil Maema, the captain, has been called up.

12:58And that's a yellow card.

13:01That was actually a yellow card to Masuku for that handball.

13:03South Africans seem to protest that there was some tagging there.

13:10Will they be done?

13:12Hold your breath.

13:15Makes the run up.

13:16The shot is good.

13:18Power.

13:19Precision.

13:21Pain.

13:22Rollercoaster.

13:25The cranes have risen from their ruins.

13:28And a setting sail.

13:30Flying high in the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

13:34The Bafana Bafana have crumbled to dust.

13:38And the fans are in ecstasy.

13:42Would you believe that?

13:43Would you believe that?

13:46Just when it thought it was over.

13:49Just when it seemed it was all done.

13:51Look at that from Rogers to Raj.

13:55Went for power.

13:56Goalkeeper guessing the right way.

13:58Just got fingertips to that.

14:00But it was not enough to avert the danger that was looming.

14:06And the cranes right back in it.

14:10Six minutes it took South Africa to turn the tide in this game.

14:14Six minutes it's taken the cranes.

14:16Kevin Chizito seems to be caught in two minds.

14:20And the referee delivers the verdict.

14:23The cranes were praying for.

14:27They've managed to snatch an opportunity right from the jaws of defeat.

14:33South Africa will be crushed with just how things have turned out here.

14:39And somehow it looked like it was written in the stars.

14:43Malibongue Kosa is absolutely beside himself here.

14:49With the referee and his assistant.

14:52Sabukelo Kulu is inconsolable.
