00:00They ended up the victors and Garner had to suffer another defeat.
00:05Group D is about to finish then for match day three.
00:09As it gets launched forward, it's Garner who is shooting from right to left in the all-white.
00:14And South Africa shooting from left to right.
00:17Sorry, he wants to do it within one minute here.
00:24Bit of a loose pass to the back line, but it's swept away over to the right wing.
00:29Nicely in the end.
00:31Abdul Latif threw into that automatically.
00:35And then there's a playoff between four teams to try and get the last two spots.
00:38That's awarded to them into the back post.
00:40Nice touchdown on South Africa.
00:42And it's brought out a save from a man.
00:45How much of his team talk involves shooting from 40 yards?
00:48We'll have to wait and see.
00:51I think they were keen to try and get the ball down and control it.
00:54Lovely little bit of footwork there from Awuli.
00:57Plays it out right to Abdul Latif.
01:00Cuts it on his left foot.
01:02Sends the player again for a hot dog.
01:04And in the end, I think gets a corner.
01:06Now he's got the penalty.
01:10Early in the game.
01:14Might not be able to see whether there's any contact on here.
01:16But he sends him one way, then the other.
01:20We'll be able to see it better here.
01:22Now he knocks it through, Latif.
01:24Yeah, there is no contact with the ball, to be fair.
01:26It's a lunge from Mangaka.
01:32And I don't think he ever touches the ball.
01:34I would be slightly desperately need to win if nothing else goes their way.
01:38They need to take control and they need the three points themselves.
01:41Referee blows his whistle.
01:45And Naby steps up.
01:48And it's a nice penalty into the bottom right-hand side.
01:55Redibe went the right way.
01:57He couldn't get down fast enough.
02:00It was nicely tucked away.
02:02Naby was making sure that no keeper was getting down to it.
02:06Because, as I said, scoring too early sometimes can really hurt a team.
02:11Actually, he gets a hand to it, doesn't he, Redibe?
02:16Very close to it being saved.
02:19I think he'll be actually disappointed.
02:20I think South Africa as a whole will be disappointed.
02:23The fact that he...
02:23The bench will be keeping an eye out on it, regardless, I imagine.
02:26And probably a better eye out on it than any of us.
02:29Abdul Latif, he's already got one penalty.
02:31He's had a massive influence in this game.
02:33Ghiafi!
02:36Abdul Latif, always looking to get onto that left-hand side.
02:41Releases the shots!
02:42Oh, my days.
02:45Almost finding the Ghanaian press will be activated pretty much instantly.
02:50But what a ball that is.
02:52Over to the Sekhgotho.
02:54Comes back inside.
02:55Tries to lay it off to the centre.
02:56And it's put over the bar.
02:57Oh, it's a good opportunity.
03:00Most of them, including Garnet,
03:03come from all the same sort of country.
03:06Obviously, coming from the same country.
03:08Abdul Latif.
03:09But they play their football natively in their country.
03:12That's what I was trying to get at as I was making sure.
03:16Lovely step inside from Latif, who's started this game brilliantly,
03:21it has to be said.
03:22In South Africa, not doing themselves justice in the back line there.
03:27Gavi firing it from the edge.
03:29In a minute, anyway, for the sake of South Africa.
03:31They have been involved with this tournament a few times,
03:35but nowhere near as many or as successfully as Garnet.
03:38I'll have a look in a minute.
03:39Madondo keeping that ball in play on the right wing.
03:43It does seem to be have moved out into that position.
03:46That should be a really easy catch.
03:47Which it is for Anand.
03:49The intentions.
03:52Garnet with an overload here.
03:53Gavi in the centre, but it's good defending in the end.
03:58Come, come, let's get in there, let's get in there.
04:00On the other side, corner kick for Garnet.
04:04Not as delicious a delivery, shall we say.
04:08But it is launched back in.
04:10Keeper may well have to something to think about.
04:11As Awu Lee was putting him on.
04:16A little bit end to end here in this last couple of minutes.
04:20And not in a particularly good way.
04:22But that's Abdul Latif running on to this one.
04:24He tries to square it.
04:25There's a shout for a handball.
04:26He really did try and keep the hands down.
04:29But the referee is given the penalty kick.
04:32Second penalty to Garnet.
04:35I think it's Kato-Yi.
04:37Oh, it is.
04:38And that hand is a little bit...
04:44And yeah, there we go.
04:45The appeal has been lodged.
04:46So, look at the replays themselves.
04:50And they make a decision for what they believe.
04:53I think it's a much better system.
04:56And he is keeping that arm really far back.
05:02It's hard to say whether he's thinking about getting an advantage by putting his arm there.
05:05But he is...
05:13Not a chance at hearing him.
05:15But hopefully you can lip-read at helping it.
05:19So, for 2-0.
05:20And for Garner to solidify before half-time.
05:25A good lead and a good penalty to do it.
05:34Joseph Naby knows exactly how crucial that could be.
05:40They're doing everything they can.
05:42And what a penalty it was as well.
05:45Dispatched into the top right-hand side.
05:47It went the same way but stuck it in the top corner instead of the bottom.
05:53Nerves of steel to put them all that high up.
05:56Could easily go out.
05:57But after sinking one penalty, the confidence was high.
06:02Rodebe didn't go the right way this time.
06:04Here to reply pretty much instantly off a corner.
06:08The ball goes in.
06:10And it's flicked towards the back post.
06:11It's off the crossbar.
06:15Very close indeed.
06:17It was on target because the defender actually jumped about as high as the goal.
06:21Giamfie's through here.
06:23It's going to be 3-0.
06:24And it's gone squirrelling narrowly wide.
06:28I have absolutely no idea how Rodebe.
06:31Really good flick by Gavi.
06:34He was out of the area already, the goalkeeper.
06:36And that is what put Giamfie off.
06:38Name wrong.
06:39Well, if I'm now saying it wrong, but I'm going to stay with Rodebe if I can get out of
06:42the habit.
06:43A bit of a tumble in the area, but there's no way near.
06:45It's going to be a penalty.
06:46Out to the edge of the box.
06:48Some smart footwork here.
06:50Plays in.
06:53Bright yellow.
06:55Garnet in the all-white.
06:57I was having a quick look actually at these stats.
07:04As we keep an eye out on what happens in the initial early stages of the second half.
07:09South Africa to bed.
07:13Puts it over to the far post.
07:15There's a couple queuing up.
07:16Ends up being a South African head who nods it down.
07:19Barfo tries to clip it back in.
07:21And it goes out for another corner.
07:28Toi heads it out of play on the yellow card now.
07:31Well, that took about two or three minutes to try and figure that one out.
07:34But Latifi, sorry, Latifi does load it in.
07:37It comes back out to the edge of the area.
07:40Lashes it towards goal, but it ends up being deflected.
07:43South Africa actually keep it in.
07:44Might not have liked to have been on the end of.
07:47So he looked slightly off his feet, I would say.
07:49That's all I'm going to mention about it.
07:50In the end, he did get the ball, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
07:53So Abdul Latifi going on the right-hand side.
07:55No, cuts back on the left.
07:57Finds the pass into the middle.
08:00Awuli trying to...
08:01Antakye.
08:03He's the one who's doing exactly what you've just seen.
08:07Getting in the way of things.
08:09Giamfi tries to find Gavi, but that's an over-hit ball.
08:12Terrible pass through to him.
08:15But Antakye, again, his job is just to give it to them.
08:18I mean, she's done brilliantly there.
08:20Awuli, get out to Gavi.
08:22Good save, double save.
08:24There by Rabide.
08:26Awuli with the initial shot.
08:28It was a half-decent save by Rabide.
08:30He had to make it.
08:34I suppose, actually, he's operating midfield, isn't he?
08:36Think about it.
08:37As they try and move it out to Madondo.
08:40He has an overlapping run for Malongo,
08:42but it was overly fed to him.
08:45Far too heavy.
08:47Gavi with a nice touch.
08:49Tries to spread it out wide.
08:51Abdul Latifi will happily receive that.
08:53One-on-one with his defender.
08:55Cuts in on his left foot yet again.
08:57Goes to half, wrap it round.
08:59Finds Giamfi.
09:00Turn and shot.
09:01I think it ends up actually hitting Gavi.
09:06And Awuli defended well in the end.
09:11It's been kept in by Dianyanai.
09:15And no.
09:16And again, physically, he's done well
09:18to fend off two South African players.
09:19And he's found Abdul Latif,
09:21who charges into the air yet again.
09:23It opens up on his left foot.
09:25And he goes with a shot at the near post.
09:27And that's exactly where the defenders were.
09:29Oh, huge tap.
09:32Signs that maybe both teams are starting to open up.
09:35It's a lovely ball if he can get there.
09:37Which he can.
09:38Takes a touch into the opposing area.
09:39And it's...
09:40Whoa!
09:40There you go.
09:42Almost out of nothing.
09:44I said the game's opening up.
09:45And South Africa get the goal.
09:54He's been playing left wing this entire game.
09:57Switches out to the right.
09:58Immediately gets the correct side of his defender.
10:01And it's a tidy finish.
10:04South Africa have life in them yet.
10:10What do they say about a 2-0 lead?
10:13Ghana may well tell you at 90 minutes.
10:17And he will look to deliver it.
10:23So, Malepo with his left foot.
10:25It's a poor delivery.
10:27Maybe he'll be one of his first touches.
10:29But it doesn't really excuse the fact that that was an opportunity for South Africa.
10:32As Gavi now carries the ball up and tries to find Nabi.
10:37Great tackle in the end.
10:39And very much needed.
10:44South Africa attacking forward though.
10:46Good touch.
10:49Almost squeezed out of it.
10:53Tries to lift it back into the centre.
10:55But South Africa is still attacking in the area here.
11:01As Macunga is as well.
11:02Two giants at centre back.
11:06Slightly different routine.
11:07Giamfie hits it.
11:09Though for Ghana.
11:16No set piece routine this time.
11:18Just putting the ball into the middle of the area.
11:20As two heads clash.
11:22They're going to have to instantly bring on the medical team.
11:26To make sure that the players are alright.
11:28Because that looked pretty heavy.
11:29And his teammates trying to.
11:31But that is a nasty one.
11:34The third round.
11:36Sorry the next round.
11:37As Barfo goes off.
11:41And with the goalkeeper.
11:42I would be very interested to see what they do.
11:45In terms of Kese or Anan.
11:48In that playoff game.
11:50To get into the under 17.
11:52Then there's your muscles cooling down.
11:54It's two completely different things.
11:57And Pop Gieta.
11:59Who as I mentioned.
12:01Is one of the substitutes that came on.
12:03Has been bandaged up.
12:04So is Barfo.
12:06And I really hope.
12:08For these young players.
12:10Into the midfield.
12:13And they've given it away.
12:14And this could be Giamfie to seal it for Ghana.
12:17Or is it going to be a red card.
12:18For stopping a goal scoring opportunity.
12:20That's exactly what it's going to be.
12:25Ketoyi desperate.
12:27To make up for a mistake.
12:30A red card.
12:31Gifted.
12:49They step up to hit it.
12:51Barfo.
12:54Blocked by the wall.
12:55As I mentioned.
12:56A very brave wall.
12:58And it's lifted on top of the.
13:00Real out and out striker.
13:03Now they've brought Madondo off.
13:09Pop Gieta.
13:10Again.
13:11No one really for them to hit.
13:13Almost.
13:14Down to 10 men.
13:17Ball's whipped in towards the near post.
13:19It's dangerous.
13:20It's almost received happily.
13:23On the half volley.
13:28But Ghana tried to carry it clear.
13:30And he's doing extremely well is Gavi.
13:32He's managed to find his way through.
13:35And it's saved.
13:37By Radibi.
13:38But for how long?
13:40Whipped into the back post.
13:42No.
13:42Sky.
13:44I think Gavi was really winning.
13:48Going for trying to be a solo goaler.
13:53And again.
13:54Abdul Latif.
13:55This is the problem that South Africa they have now.
13:57They're just letting him have the run.
13:59Of the pitch.
14:00Latif.
14:02If anybody deserved a goal.
14:03It would probably be him.
14:05Comes back out.
14:06Lovely bit of footwork.
14:07Couldn't beat the two or three.
14:09And it's Rockerton into the back of the net.
14:12Garner are going through to the playoffs.
14:20Augustine Appiah.
14:25I'm not sure if I'm trying to rush to get this game back underway.
14:29The game is won for Garner.
14:37Keep up on.
14:38Keep up on.
14:39Keep up on guys.
14:45To be fair actually.
14:47There is goal difference.
14:49Something that I've been neglecting so far.
14:52Because it gets very complicated.
14:54To keep up with who is where.
14:57But Garner on top of the added time already.
14:59I'm amazed that it wasn't longer to start with.
15:01Quick.
15:03Garner have beaten South Africa 3-1.
15:07But it is only good enough for third place.
15:11There was a late push from Garner.
15:13That could have meant they were potentially.
15:15Into that automatic spot.
15:18To qualify for Qatar.
15:20But they didn't manage it.
15:22There was a late push from Garner.
15:24There was a late push from Garner.
15:29There was a late push from Garner.
15:29There was a late push from Garner.
15:29There was a late push from Garner.
15:30There was a late push from Garner.
15:30There was a late push from Garner.
15:30There was a late push from Garner.
15:31There was a late push from Garner.
15:31There was a late push from Garner.
15:31You
