00:00We are underway, South Africa all in white, playing from left to right against Cameroon
00:12in their traditional and spectacular strip of green jerseys, red shorts and yellow socks.
00:20In what is a phenomenally rare meeting between two significant teams on the African continent.
00:28You have to go back to the very first game of the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations
00:34when Bufana Bufana played their very first match in this tournament
00:39for the last meeting between these sides.
00:43South Africa winning 3-0 in Johannesburg en route to winning the title that year.
00:51An early foul blown up and there will be a decision going South Africa's way.
00:56South Africa was re-admitted to international football in 19...
00:58South Africa...
00:59South Africa...
01:00South Africa...
01:01South Africa...
01:02South Africa...
01:03South Africa winning 3-0 in Johannesburg en route to winning the title that year
01:10an early foul blown up and there will be a decision going South Africa's way
01:16to also explain that when South Africa was readmitted to international football in 19...
01:22South Africa...
01:24The delivery headed on and headed over
01:32his joint top scorer so far of the tournament with two and he just couldn't keep that down
01:37Sunday a super opportunity for Bufana Bufana with just three minutes on the clock
01:42his professional debut in January of last year in the Spanish second division
01:47eight goals in 20 games made him very attractive here's Moffa King over the bar
01:53start of the tournament and he just could not keep the strike down defensive error at the back
02:00allowing in the wide man the star with Orlando Pirates
02:05Williams at the back
02:08Albas what a space for Moffa King through to Foster flag is down again
02:13Foster's in behind he can make it 1-0 to South Africa and he does and now the flag does blatantly go up
02:19but eventually as soon as the ball was in the net the offside flag went up and I don't think this will take the VAR officials very long to check your thoughts Sunday
02:29clear offside because they've created just few minutes so many scoring chances
02:35they'll be delighting their coach and infuriating him as well Moffa King through it to Foster good goalkeeping by Devis
02:41the top flight in France has gone down there wasn't anybody around him I don't think as he came down here's the good bit of goalkeeper from
02:52Epassi beautiful person that was a beautiful true ball yeah but Piers that's what you get with all the chaos they had before the major
03:00tournament you know they're not really used to one another
03:04understandably so well that could be a yellow card it is indeed Sunday I believe I saw an elbow there okay
03:13there's a player called Ongol with two
03:26in it comes from Mbubo only as far as the edge of the box where Baleba picks it up looking for the bottom corner deflection this surely
03:34will be the first goal of the game and it is it goes Cameroon's way
03:38out of all people it's Julia Shamanu who took full advantage of the ball I was telling you earlier when you dominate and you're missing chances look at this
03:51not the perfectly well struck but when you dominate the game and your opponent gets set pieces that is how they can punish you
03:59and they certainly did it was an inadvertent the Cameroonians were not able to play because the South Africans didn't let them
04:08because they were pressing and making the count the double press so the South Africans the Cameroonians couldn't even build up
04:14so it's not a seafall of a sudden no they woke up now I believe the goal that they scored psychologically has really really pushed them
04:21into more into this game
04:23given that man real belief well there isn't even time to take the free kick because the half time
04:30they have to find a way back into this game
04:38they are not to exit in the round of 16 they've got a very good record at this stage of the tournament since the African cup of nations
04:47he is a star of the future for Cameroon and African football
05:15link player he can be a player who can
05:17let's look at this
05:21he times his run he waits he waits and he attacks the ball and hits it exactly where he should
05:27he doesn't let the ball come to him he goes to the ball and that's what makes the difference
05:33you attack the header
05:35this is only his third ever game for Cameroon
05:40and he now has two goals one a thunderbolt strike
05:46from the edge of the area and there's a textbook header of Sunday Aliso the former Nigeria it's national says
05:52it would be unfair if we don't if we don't complement England's top flight
05:56this is not a Cameroon team but you see them enjoying the game now running into movement
06:14you know and playing receiving the ball and even technical just you know
06:18this is static ball position this is static ball position you can't hurt your position like this
06:24point it into the middle that's better foster
06:28South Africa super safe from a passing
06:30well there was the chance of South Africa driven in
06:34earlier it was static just playing it foot to foot
06:36get the crosses in get the crosses in as much as possible
06:39Nadal had a little touch I wonder if that had to be ruled out for the handball
06:43it's another six months before he turns 20
06:48that's okay just trying to pick it forward to foster doesn't come off
06:50Namasa that's nice in the midfield again and Belay was brought down and that's a free kick
06:54it may well be another yellow card as well to the man who has just come on
06:59you would expect from a team that were just assembled recently
07:02that was a clear foul
07:03could this be a turning point in the game for the 1996 African champions
07:08Mokwena turned behind by a sprawling Epassi
07:15who did well
07:16in the top flight with Manchester United
07:18as we see Mokwena's strike
07:21is it going in just possibly clipping the post and finding its way into the back
07:28cleared away and Bruno charging forward to pick this up at pace
07:32he needs support he doesn't have too much of it at the moment he's just going himself
07:37Brian Mbumo for Cameroon into the middle it goes
07:40drops to Adam
07:41Williams with the block
07:43it's time now where you get to see the way
07:46this is what we said earlier on
07:48well made, well made out on Bill
07:50to bend on it
07:51definitely needed saving
07:53oh Mepassi
07:58Madiba
07:59Mokkazi
08:01Sibisi
08:04Sibisi
08:05it was short
08:06Namasso gets the touch
08:08and wins the free kick
08:09let's see a little pause
08:14and they are totting up
08:16well they're booked on match day
08:23good of the tournament
08:26I said earlier
08:27first stage courses wiped out
08:29it was once again
08:32excellent drive from
08:35Cameroonian player
08:36and this is a really
08:39and this is a really
08:40Mokko just
08:41the powerhouse of African football in terms of investmenters
08:45Mbumo plays it over the top
08:46into
08:47Kofan who can seal it here
08:49but he can't
08:51that
08:52on target
08:53super raking ball from Mbumo
08:55very intelligent run by Kofan
08:57in Olympic football
08:59and in what style they did it
09:01Foster
09:02trying to find a way back into this game
09:06okay Malone with the tackle
09:09and then Foster just showing a little bit of frustration
09:11he might be in serious trouble here
09:13the official
09:14he's got a yellow
09:15you do not put your hands on the officials
09:18well
09:19it was Wu who had his hands on Foster's shoulder
