00:10 >> Can he pull the heroics once again?
00:16 Tao makes the run up, makes no mistake this time.
00:21 >> But in a face to face fashion,
00:24 clearly see the reading bed of his mind set the goalkeeper.
00:28 >> He knew exactly where that was going but it was too hard and too low.
00:32 >> Back to Kekana, launches a ball forward for
00:37 Tapelo, Morena, can he whip it across?
00:40 Cut back, and they make it count.
00:43 >> Liberty, Shishi, as is known.
00:46 Zwane coming late, perfect.
00:51 >> Well, there were questions on whether they had the firepower to deliver the goods.
00:57 >> It's an emphatic yes at the moment as the younger pull back here.
01:04 But now they lose possession and the chance to venture forward.
01:07 Zwane still in possession, tries to take it on his own, and he delivers.
01:13 >> They've constantly talked about the fact that he reinvents himself.
01:16 He constantly seeks to renew his abilities.
01:21 It's almost like a Benjamin Button case, gets younger as he gets older.
01:26 Also change positions now with the substitutions.
01:29 >> As a long ball is played through, now a chance here once again to break and
01:33 could it turn to- >> Allowed them to free themselves up.
01:36 And the danger of being the team on the back foot came rearing its ugly head here

01:49 >> Now straight through, little touch in from Sitori, but
01:52 Popa looks offside, it's in the back of the net.
01:55 >> Flag stays down, the call is given.
02:00 [MUSIC]
02:01 >> He looks to be slightly off there, Fancy.

02:09 But once again, South Africa just making sure with those combination passes.
02:14 [MUSIC]
02:19 >> It's a very good kick, it's an overhaul.
02:22 South Africa make it two-nil, and they are heading into the quarterfinals.
02:27 >> A stunning free kick in at the near post, no chance for Bruno.
02:32 We've seen some good set pieces in this tournament,
02:35 that's gotta be right up there.
02:36 [MUSIC]
02:41 >> Some mark it up as out.
02:43 >> Was in, yeah, he's tucked into his net at the moment.

03:44 the shootout, Moutoubi Mbala.
03:46 [MUSIC]
