00:00our police those are the eleven men today coach by mr. Hugo Braff and the
00:07number 10 the one playing for Manchester United
00:12Brian and Bilmo all of them coached
00:20we are underway South Africa all in white playing from left to right against
00:28Cameroon in their traditional and spectacular strip of three jerseys red
00:33shorts and yellow socks in what is a phenomenally rare meeting between two
00:42significant teams on the African continent you have to go back to the
00:47very first game of the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations when Bafana Bafana played their
00:53very first match South Africa
00:58delivery headed on and headed over it's joint top scorer so far the tournament
01:06with the two and he just couldn't keep that down Sunday a super opportunity for
01:11Bafana Bafana with just three minutes on the clock it struck the ball right in
01:17front of him not behind it
01:19failing to get over it Foster the Burnley man
01:25no one was involved in more goals in the group stage of the tournament
01:30his professional debut in January of last year in the Spanish second division eight goals in 20 games
01:38made him very attractive here's Moffa King over the bar start of the tournament and he just could not keep the
01:46strike down defensive error at the back Williams at the back
01:50Albas a lot of space for Moffa King through to Foster flag is down again Foster's in behind
01:58he can make it one nil to South Africa and he does and now the flag does blatantly go up
02:03well he took it that's what you've got to do beat the keeper find the back of the net
02:09but eventually as soon as
02:11the ball was in the net the offside flag went up his third as said Cameroon's top scorer at the tournament so far
02:19there's a player called Ongol with two
02:23in it comes from Mbubo only as far as the edge of the box where Baleba picks it up looking for the bottom corner deflection
02:29this surely will be the first goal of the game and it is it goes Cameroon's way
02:35out of all people is Junior Shamadou who took full advantage of the ball pinballing around the South African area
02:47and out of nowhere Cameroon lead a South Africa side that have dominated large parts of this opening period
02:57psychologically has really really pushed them into more into this game
03:04given that man real belief well there isn't even time to take the free kick
03:09have to find a way back into this game
03:13they are not to exit in the round of 16 they've got a very good record at this stage of the tournament
03:21since the Africa cup of nations first introduced a round of 16 in 2019 prior
03:26to today they had played 2-1-2
03:29beating Egypt the hosts in 2019 in a stunning upset in the Egyptian capital Cairo
03:38Timbenkisi with the goal and then beating Morocco by two goals to nil last time out
03:45no easy opponents on either occasion Cameroon in behind early in the second half
03:51strike a goal across the face of goal
03:53and turned behind early on by Mbokazi through the Cameroonian corner
04:00very intelligent player here looks up puts it exactly where he must be
04:06the first touch the first touch goal have been better
04:09Aguida
04:11and it was with the delivery of delicious ball inside the full-back from Beléber
04:17one of the key men
04:20the man who turned 22 just yesterday
04:24a midfielder
04:26swung in
04:28Foster with the header away
04:30and he got numbers forward still Cameroon
04:40in it goes
04:41for number two
04:42we said he was a danger man
04:44one chance
04:45one goal
04:46Christian Kofan
04:48he is a star of the future for Cameroon
04:50and African football
04:52and he buried that to give the indomitable lions a two-goal lead
04:56and it's a long way back
04:58for Bofana Bofana from here
05:00Bofana is exceptional
05:01the timed run
05:03and the movement
05:04in fact
05:06let's just say this again
05:07look at the timing
05:09and look at the way he directs the header
05:12exceptional player
05:15this player can do it all
05:17he can be a link player
05:19he can be a player who can
05:20let's look at this
05:24he times his run
05:26he waits he waits
05:27and he attacks the ball
05:28and hits it exactly where he should
05:30he doesn't let the ball come to him
05:32Cameroon courtesy of
05:34winning their opener
05:36and during their second
05:37number as good as through
05:39four points
05:40more than enough to take you through
05:43as one of the best
05:44four third place sides in the end
05:48two points ended up being enough
05:50this is static ball position
05:53this is static ball position
05:54you can't hurt the opposition
05:56like this
05:56Mokwena into the middle
05:57that's better
05:58Foster
05:58South Africa
06:00super safe from a passing
06:01well there was the chance
06:04of South Africa
06:04driven in
06:05Elia it was starting
06:06just playing it foot to foot
06:07get the crosses in
06:09get the crosses in
06:10as much as possible
06:11Nadal had a little touch
06:13I wonder if that had to be ruled out
06:14for the handball
06:15Mokwena
06:16knocking on the door
06:19Bafana Bafana
06:20Al-Bas
06:23out to
06:24Bukhazi again
06:25Mokwena
06:26who had played every minute of the campaign
06:31is on for South Africa
06:33I was surprised to see the 30-year-old not starting
06:36could this be a turning point in the game for the 1996 African champions
06:41Mokwena
06:44turned behind by
06:46a sprawling
06:48Epasi
06:48who did well
06:50in the top flight with Manchester United
06:51as we see Mokwena's strike
06:54going in
06:58just possibly
06:59clipping the post
07:00and finding its way
07:01into the back
07:02Morfoke
07:10out
07:11swinger
07:12cleared away
07:14Mbumo
07:15charging forward
07:16to pick this up
07:16at pace
07:17he needs support
07:19he doesn't have too much of it
07:20at the moment
07:21he's just going himself
07:22Brian Mbumo
07:23for Cameroon
07:24into the middle
07:24it goes
07:25drops
07:25Al-Bas
07:26Williams with the block
07:28it's time now
07:30where you get to see
07:31the way
07:31this is what we said
07:32earlier on
07:33well made up
07:34on Bune
07:35Madiba
07:38Bukhazi
07:40Cebisi
07:43it was short
07:45Namasu
07:46gets the touch
07:47and wins the free kick
07:48let's see
07:49a little pause
07:49Nasser just down the road
07:52stadium
07:53they'll host the final
07:54that's not as big as the one
07:56in Tangier
07:5675,000 seater
07:58and they are building
08:00a 115,000 capacity arena
08:03in Casablanca
08:04the powerhouse of African football
08:11in terms of investment
08:12as Mbumo plays it over the top
08:14into Kofan who can seal it here
08:17but he can't
08:18on target
08:20super raking ball from Mbumo
08:23very intelligent run by Kofan
08:25the space
08:26very intelligent
08:27the well played
08:27easily found as well
08:30just carved open
08:31as you say
08:31as South Africa
08:32looked to go forward
08:33leaving gaps
08:35at the back
08:35of course
08:36Nambas
08:41into Mokwena
08:42Madiba
08:45that's a nice ball
08:46now it's the delivery
08:47into the middle
08:47like Foster
08:48can't get on it
08:48Samuel Cotto
08:50with an important touch
08:52as he has
08:53well
08:54the labour
08:55has gone into the
08:56referee's notebook
08:58why why
08:59is unclear
09:00could it be time wasting
09:02another who was booked
09:06in the group stages
09:07but
09:07wiped of course
09:10so that's two
09:14Panarinian players
09:15Nuhu and Baleba
09:17Mokwena
09:19and again
09:24the delivery
09:30and South Africa
09:31do get one back
09:32with just
09:34two and a half minutes
09:35left on the clock
09:36a real melee
09:36in there as well
09:37but they've got the goal
09:39the substitute
09:41Eminence Mahopa
09:43firing home
09:45what a ball
09:46into the area
09:47from Modiba
09:50one sub
09:51to another
09:52and he took it well
09:54and do we now
09:57have a grandstand finish
09:58and have South Africa
09:59possibly
09:59given themselves
10:01the platform
10:02to come back
10:03they cannot
10:04because there's a
10:05Cameroonian head
10:05that gets up there
10:06and then there's a
10:08Cameroonian clearance
10:09up towards the
10:09centre circle
10:10all eyes now
10:12on the referee
10:13I wonder when
10:14Williams just
10:15hacks it forward
10:16and again
10:18it goes high
10:18in the sky
10:19as does the
10:20referees
