01:02Asimane can't believe it
01:04Ray smile from the experienced head coach
01:09a loose pass and a loose touch
01:13from combination of Silla and Karuma
01:20lovely footwork
01:23opens up for the shots for Tepelo Mokuena
01:28he's in double figures 10 goals for his country
01:36joint second most in the current squad
01:40and only decided to slow things down a bit
01:44and back to the one job
01:48recently Togo almost four years
01:51at the Togolese side
01:56appointed to the Guinea job last year
01:59just over a year ago
02:05and that side
02:06heading that away
02:07and winning a free kick
02:09as we cut back to the live action
02:11it's been swung in
02:12and it's going to be hammered home
02:14in off the inside of the near post
02:16and Ime Okon has his first ever goal for his country
02:33early days in this qualification campaign
02:35but South Africa take a significant step
02:40towards the finals
02:43up against their main challengers
02:47favourites in this group
02:48where there is only one spot open
02:53they take the lead
02:56half an hour on the clock
02:59corner swung in towards the back post
03:02his header was blocked
03:04and it was forced home
03:05on the rebound
03:07by Ime Okon
03:09his eighth appearance
03:11for Bafana Bafana
03:13her first goal
03:14for the 22 year old
03:16and a very very special moment
03:35save from the spot
03:36in regular time
03:37and then in the shootout
03:38and then in the shootout
03:39and that's
03:40down the other end
03:43work to do for Silla
03:45just about past the test
03:49now Satole
03:51lurking
03:52a wrestling match
04:00Madiba with
04:01the ball in again
04:04it was
04:08it's laid off for Gherassi
04:14just changing the angle slightly
04:17the roll of the ball from Abdul Traore
04:19Gherassi drilled it
04:23just wide
04:24that near post
04:27found a gap in the wall
04:28you can see from this angle
04:29just how close that was
04:33indeed
04:34there is
04:35the half-time whistle
04:38Alaskaruma
04:41only seeing 45 minutes of action
04:42we have 45 left
04:44and we are back
04:44underway
04:45it's been worked
04:46nicely from right to left
04:47here is
04:48Sekusila
04:51Traore
04:52caught there
04:53just outside the box
04:58quick feet
05:01from the
05:02Leuven winger
05:04too quick
05:05on that occasion
05:06for Sibelibele
05:10people
05:12to keep
05:13clean sheets here
05:14hoped for
05:15and
05:15well
05:16he was
05:18on the verge of losing one there
05:21dangerous ball in
05:24from Baldé
05:27it was over the head of Gherassi
05:29but
05:29onto the head of Traore
05:33Williams
05:33will say
05:35I think
05:35his
05:36coach
05:38is homegrown
05:42just the one change
05:44in the end
05:44and
05:46there might be more in coming
05:48because
05:48Guinea
05:49are looking at the stronger side at the moment
05:52Gherassi
05:52earns another corner
05:57having to the ball again
05:59again
06:00and that's
06:01pretty poor clearance
06:05heading over here
06:06Traore
06:07and
06:08queuing up
06:09in the end
06:10the shot
06:10was wild
06:13from
06:14a lot of space here
06:15for South Africa
06:16once again
06:16in the final third
06:18they can't make the most of it
06:21I think the header blocks on its way
06:23towards goal
06:26Apollos
06:28looking for his
06:30tenth goal
06:31for his country
06:34just checked his run
06:35to open up the space
06:37didn't get the contact he needed
06:39for Fionna there
06:40to make life difficult
06:48just floated in
06:49that's
06:50far too close to Roman Williams
06:52he will claim
06:56catching practice
06:57for the captain
07:00making his 67th appearance
07:03for
07:04Bafana Bafana
07:05find the net
07:08Ronaldo
07:09is Guinea
07:09who are
07:10looking to find the net
07:11and
07:12the ball has hit the back of it
07:13and the flag has stayed down
07:16a quick check
07:17to the assistant
07:19from
07:20Seiduba
07:20Sise
07:24but no flag
07:25was incoming
07:28and Guinea
07:30had their equaliser
07:39Masseiduba
07:40with a hugely important goal
07:45the early
07:47spell of this
07:49qualification campaign
07:52and he was onside
07:54and he was stood
07:56right next to
07:59Ranabili
08:00Mofa Keng
08:01who
08:01fulfilling that draft
08:03excluder role again
08:05it felt
08:06just so kindly
08:08for Sise
08:15who
08:16in his
08:1829th appearance
08:19for his country
08:20has his third goal
08:21and how important
08:22a goal is
08:22the spoils are to be shared here
08:24but are they
08:25Kabini
08:25it's wrong
08:26goal
08:28Kabini restores
08:29Bafana Bafana's advantage
08:33level for just 7 minutes
08:35Guinea
08:35and South Africa
08:37retake the lead
08:37and it's the super sub
08:39Samukeli Kabini
08:51a well-deserved
08:53round of applause
08:54from those in the stands
08:57deep in thought
08:58Massemane
08:59straight back to the job
09:00in hand
09:04and another
09:05to grab
09:06a first goal
09:09for the national side
09:10Kabini
09:12gets his first
09:13and his seventh
09:15appearance
09:16one fewer than Ocon
09:23he kept his head
09:24through on goal
09:25slotted it
09:26past Silla
09:28call as you like
09:29the finish of a forward
09:30more than a fullback
09:35it has delighted
09:36the Orlando stadium
09:38and the tens of thousands
09:39inside it
09:47for the right ball in
09:48into the final
09:4990 seconds
09:50of the scheduled
09:5190 minutes
09:51and Guinea pushing on here
09:53and that
09:54is a very important claim
09:56by Roman Williams
09:59the white shirts
10:00the white shirts
10:00were flooding forwards
10:01a good 4-5 in the box
10:06that could have squirmed
10:08under Williams' body
10:09the players lurking
10:11waiting
10:13but that is that
10:17South Africa
10:18hang on
10:19for a 2-1 win
10:21on home soil
10:22here in Johannesburg
10:26what could prove
10:27to be
10:27a very
10:28very
10:29important
10:30I don't know
10:30but we're not
10:31going to go
10:31back to you
10:31I don't want to
10:35go
10:35back to you
