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.
00:56To the whole Mokwena, the player down on the ground.
01:05Mokwena, who is a key man in the centre of the park, is feeling that.
01:12The player from Germany, the iniciator, is feeling that.
01:17It's walking away, Jinxali, in臨рудis, standing over this.
01:33South Africa.
01:34the delivery headed on and headed over
01:41joint top scorer so far in the tournament
01:43with two
01:44and he just couldn't keep that down
01:46Sunday a super opportunity
01:47for Bafana Bafana with
01:49just three minutes on the clock
01:51in their favour
01:52that's actually their top scorer
01:53own goals
01:54before Kofan
01:56fired a blistering strike
01:58what are you expecting to see from Kofan today
02:00because you've watched him in the Bundesliga
02:01he's a very very exciting talent
02:03he's a very good player
02:04I expect him to be
02:05but then again
02:06he has tendency to let you
02:08to make the opposition fall asleep
02:10he doesn't do much initially
02:13and then all of a sudden
02:14he wakes up
02:15just like now
02:15charging in Kofan
02:18turns 20 in July
02:19only made his professional debut
02:22in January of last year
02:24in the Spanish second division
02:25eight goals in 20 games
02:28made him very attractive
02:29here's Mofaking
02:30over the bar
02:31start of the tournament
02:33and he just could not keep the strike down
02:36defensive error at the back
02:38allowing in
02:39the wide man
02:41the star with the Lando Pirates
02:42team and the supporters back home in Cameroon are pleasantly surprised I understand
02:48and what they've seen so far
02:50Cameroon are often unpredictable
02:55expect them to do well
02:57they don't always
02:58they can surprise you
03:02just as they did
03:03in 2017
03:04under Bruce when
03:05they came to the tournament
03:06after seven players
03:08refused call-ups
03:09to the national side
03:11happy with preparations
03:12and
03:13running of the FA
03:14nonetheless they lifted the trophy
03:18when beating Egypt and the
03:20cabernese capital
03:21Liverpool
03:21Williams at the back
03:23to Albas
03:25a lot of space
03:26from Mofaking
03:27through to Foster
03:28flag is down again
03:29Foster's in behind
03:31he can make it
03:311-0 to South Africa
03:33and he does
03:34and now the flag
03:35does
03:35blatantly go up
03:36well he took it
03:38and that's what you
03:40but
03:40eventually as soon as the ball was in the net
03:42the offside flag went up
03:45and I don't think this will take the VAR officials
03:47very long to check
03:48your thoughts Sunday
03:48oh it's a clear offside
03:50hour mark of this game
03:52they opened with the defeat of Angola
03:56two goals to one goals from Apolis and Foster
03:58and then they were beaten by ten man Egypt in a game
04:00Riding controversy given the penalty given to
04:03Mohamed Salah
04:04which we'll come to in a moment
04:05because here is Apolis
04:06trying to play it into the middle
04:07not fully cleared
04:08and then
04:09Avram again with the clearance
04:12anywhere will do time
04:13at the back for Cameroon
04:15weathering a mini storm of sorts
04:20I hope
04:22I hope the South Africans
04:25will regret all these chances
04:26they're letting go by
04:27at the end of this game
04:28because they've created
04:30just a few minutes
04:31so many scoring chances
04:32they'll be delighting their coach
04:35infuriating him as well
04:36Moffat getting through it to Foster
04:37good goalkeeping by Devis
04:39Epassi
04:40a 32 year old
04:41well read by the goalkeeper
04:43well timed
04:45he was really really fully read in the game
04:47the top fight in France
04:49the top fight in France has gone down
04:51there wasn't really anybody around him
04:53I don't think as he came down
04:54here's the good bit of goalkeeper
04:57from Epassi
04:58beautiful passing
04:59that was a beautiful true ball
05:01second term now
05:03having secured a second term last year
05:08having taken charge in early March 2021
05:10I think the Camerians can do better
05:13with the quality of the passes
05:14they're giving
05:15in as much as
05:16the few times they've been able to run
05:18lose from the mark
05:19and from the South Africans
05:22the Camerians have not been able to
05:23really find
05:25their teammates
05:27they need a driving presence
05:32in the heart of the midfield
05:33I would suggest Sunday
05:34somebody to take the game forward
05:35we know Belaber's got qualities in there
05:37but he needs other players
05:38in and around him
05:39and we've yet to sort of
05:40really see that
05:40in so many games
05:41won and lost in midfield of course
05:43yeah but Piers
05:43that's what you get
05:44with all the chaos they had
05:46before the major detournament
05:47you know
05:48they're not really used to one another
05:50no
05:51understandably so
05:53well
05:53that could be a yellow card
05:54it is indeed
05:55Sunday
05:56I believe I saw an elbow there
05:59and it is going in the way of
06:01Gazzana
06:02standing over and just trying to see
06:13that
06:13okay
06:14the player down
06:18it's dangerous when you
06:24when your opponent
06:25starts getting set
06:27this is
06:27three kicks and corner kicks
06:29and Abumo's second delivery
06:31was much better than his first
06:33what can he do
06:37with his third
06:38as said
06:39Cameroon's top scorer
06:40in the tournament so far
06:42has a player called
06:44own goal
06:44with two
06:45in it comes from Abumo
06:48only as far as the edge of the box
06:50but Labour picks it up
06:51looking for the bottom corner
06:52deflection
06:53this surely
06:53will be the first goal of the game
06:55and it is
06:56it goes Cameroon's way
06:58and of all people
07:00it's Junior
07:01Cameroon who took full advantage of the ball pinballing around the South African area
07:09and out of nowhere
07:12Cameroon lead
07:15a South African side that have dominated large parts of this opening period
07:20I was telling you earlier
07:25when you dominate
07:26and you're missing chances
07:27look at this
07:28not the perfectly well struck
07:30but when you dominate a game
07:31and your opponent
07:32your opponent gets set pieces
07:34that is how they can punish you
07:36and they certainly did
07:39it was an inadvertent
07:41which he failed to take after being played in nicely by Abumo
07:45well you can see here
07:47that the Camerinas have abandoned
07:49building up from the back
07:50they are not inviting the South Africans
07:53to make the high press
07:54so they're just
07:55typical traditional
07:58old-fashioned
07:58long balls
08:00from the back
08:00mixing it up right
08:02yeah exactly
08:03a long ball again
08:06and Abumo
08:06just unable to
08:08keep that in
08:09yet again Sunday
08:10we saw a lovely first touch there
08:11from Kofan
08:12as he controlled a
08:13long ball forward
08:15as if it had just been a short
08:16five-yard pass to him
08:17he's an exceptional player
08:19and I think with time
08:20technically he's
08:22great
08:23and physically
08:24well I think he's almost
08:25one meter mighty
08:26I think something
08:26yes exactly
08:28here he is
08:30holding it forward
08:31into Nagida
08:32Nagida
08:33Nagida again
08:38well we just didn't see
08:40this sort of passing
08:41football from Cameroon
08:42in the early stages
08:43when they struggled
08:44to find players
08:46in green
08:46Nagida just taking
08:48his time
08:49shoved off it
08:51I think he's won
08:52free kick
08:54and that's good play
08:56with the clock
08:56ticking past the 48-minute mark
08:58yes I think in all fairness
09:00to the South Africans
09:00the Cameroonians
09:01were not able to play
09:03because the South Africans
09:04didn't let them
09:04because they were pressing
09:06and making the count
09:07the double press
09:08so the South Africans
09:09and the Cameroonians
09:10couldn't even build up
09:11so it's not a seafall
09:12of a sudden
09:13no
09:13it woke up now
09:14I believe the goal
09:15that he scored
09:16psychologically
09:17has really really
09:17pushed them
09:18more into this game
09:19given that man
09:21real belief
09:22there isn't even time
09:23to take the free kick
09:25because the halftime
09:27that's the end of the
09:30first half
09:31and Cameroon
09:32is taking the lead
09:32here winning
09:331-0
09:34to South Africa
09:35Chana Duel
09:36the only goalscorer
09:38in the 30
09:38for the minute

10:03back into this game
10:04they are not
10:08to exit
10:09in the round of 16
10:10they've got a very good
10:11record at this stage

10:45behind
10:46Blondinville
10:47Aguida
10:49Nils with the delivery
10:51a delicious ball
10:52inside the full-back
10:53from Beléber
10:54another
10:56the key man
10:57the man who
10:59turned
10:5922 just yesterday
11:01midfielder
11:03swung in
11:06Foster with the header
11:07away
11:07Maripolis
11:09now
11:11there is
11:13Beléber
11:13forward again
11:14Namaso
11:15and they've got numbers
11:16forward still
11:17Cameroon
11:18in it goes
11:18for number two
11:20we said he was a
11:21danger man
11:22one chance
11:23one goal
11:24Christian Kofan
11:25he is a star of the future
11:27for Cameroon
11:28and African football
11:30and he buried that
11:31to give the indomitable
11:32eyes a two-goal lead
11:34and it's a long way back
11:36for Bofana Bofana
11:37from here
11:37Bofana is exceptional
11:39the timed run
11:41and the movement
11:42in fact
11:43let's just see this again
11:45look at the
11:45look at
11:46look at the timing
11:47and look at the way he
11:48directs
11:49the header
11:50link player
11:52he can be a player
11:53who can
11:53let's look at this
11:57he times his run
11:59he waits
12:00he waits
12:00and he attacks the ball
12:02and hits it
12:02exactly where he should
12:03he doesn't let the ball
12:05come to him
12:05he goes to the ball
12:07and that's what
12:08makes the difference
12:09you attack the header
12:11yep
12:11this is only
12:13his third
12:14ever game
12:15for Cameroon
12:16and he now

12:20one
12:20a
12:21thunderbolt strike
12:22from
12:24the edge of the area
12:25and there's a textbook
12:26header of Sunday
12:26Aliso
12:27the former Nigeria
12:27international says
12:28it would be unfair
12:29if we don't
12:30if we don't
12:30compliment
12:31you are liable
12:32to be struck
12:33by a counter
12:34Okwena from distance
12:36it was going to have to be
12:38something special
12:39from there
12:40deflected
12:41and we'll pick it up
12:44again
12:44to Boho
12:45and Okwena
12:46Amalodi
12:49sundown
12:49serial
12:50champions
12:51in
12:51top flight
12:54Mbumo
12:55Mbumo
12:55now this is not a Cameroon team
13:14that's just been built
13:15just in
13:16just some weeks ago
13:17they are really playing
13:18some collective stuff
13:19and initially we felt
13:21that was one of the reasons
13:22why they were not today
13:23but you see them
13:24enjoying the game now
13:26running into movement
13:27you know
13:28and playing
13:29receiving the ball
13:30and even technical
13:31just you know
13:32and the round of 16
13:34was all important
13:35because
13:35Cameroon courtesy
13:38of
13:38winning their opener
13:40and drawing their second
13:41as good as through
13:44four points
13:45more than enough
13:47to take you through
13:48as one of the best
13:49four third place
13:51sides in the end
13:52two points
13:53ended up being enough
13:54this is static
13:56ball position
13:57this is static
13:58ball position
13:59you can't hurt
14:00your position like this
14:01Mokwena into the middle
14:02that's better
14:03Foster
14:03South Africa
14:04super safe from Mepasi
14:05well there was the chance
14:08of South Africa
14:09driven in
14:09and deflected away
14:11Mokwena
14:12knocking on the door
14:15Bafana Bafana
14:17Albas
14:19out to
14:20Mbukazi again
14:21that's a good delivery
14:23and that's a really good
14:24bit of defensive play
14:25once again
14:26to clear their lines
14:27Naguida goes down
14:28will take some of this
14:29sting out of this
14:30momentum building
14:30for South Africa
14:31but good balls in
14:33earlier it was starting
14:34just playing it foot to foot
14:35get the crosses in
14:37get the crosses in
14:38as much as possible
14:39Nadal had a little touch
14:41I wonder if that had to be
14:42ruled out for the handball
14:43almost 34 minutes
14:45on the clock
14:45Nadu
14:47scoring for the very
14:48first time
14:49and then
14:52Alfan
14:54with his second goal
14:56just three appearances
14:59for his national team
15:01the 19-year-old
15:02six months
15:05before he turns 20
15:06Mepriken
15:08just trying to flick it forward
15:09to Foster
15:10doesn't come off
15:10Amasa
15:11that's nice in the midfield
15:12again and Belay was brought down
15:14and that was a free kick
15:14it may well be
15:15another yellow card as well
15:16to the man
15:17who has just come on
15:18this is quite impressive
15:20from the Cameroun
15:21to see
15:22quick shot passing
15:23and both passing
15:25and going in movement
15:26you would expect
15:27from a team
15:28that were just
15:28assembled recently
15:29that was a clear foul
15:30could this be a turning point
15:32in the game
15:33for the 1996
15:34African champions
15:35Mokwena
15:38turned behind
15:40by a sprawling
15:41Epasi
15:42who did well
15:44in the top flight
15:44with Manchester United
15:45as we see Mokwena's
15:48strike
15:48going in
15:52just possibly
15:53clipping the post
15:54and finding its way
15:55into the back
15:55cleared away
15:57and Bruno
15:57charging forward
15:58to pick this up
15:59at pace
16:00he needs support
16:01he doesn't have
16:02too much of it
16:03at the moment
16:03he's just going himself
16:04Brian Mbumo
16:05for Cameroun
16:06into the middle
16:07it goes
16:07Jobser
16:08and him
16:08Williams with the block
16:10it's time now
16:12where you get to see
16:13the way
16:14this is what we said
16:15earlier on
16:15well made
16:17on Ben
16:17to bend on it
16:18definitely needed saving
16:20oh Mokwena
16:22Epasi
16:22Madiba
16:26Bokazi
16:28Sibisi
16:32it was short

17:30Inter
17:31Kofan who can
17:32seal it here

18:07Foster
18:07just showing
18:08a little bit
18:08of frustration
18:09he might be
18:09in serious
18:10trouble here

20:06opportunities

20:07early on
20:07the game
20:07that
20:07they should
20:08have
20:08punished
20:08the
20:08Cameroonians
20:09from
20:09at the
20:09beginning
20:10of the
20:10game

20:11cost them
