00:00Now, space on this near side.
00:07Cross coming in.
00:09Header on the ball post!
00:10Oh, it's not on the post!
00:12It's not supposed to be an opener.
00:15Lovely work, clipping in on the far side by Abed Abayi.
00:18And his header.
00:20Look to have the keeper beating hands down.
00:24Great cross, this.
00:27It's one of those crosses that I love.
00:29You know where you just lifted the ball, but with a bit of pitch.
00:32The Spanish type game, which is where we are sort of stuck in the trends, so to speak.
00:36Now, lovely work here with the man eliminated.
00:39And the ball in!
00:40Oh, that's a chance!
00:42Definitely a chance. Flag had gone up, however, it wouldn't have counted.
00:45But superb work here on the right flank.
00:49Svajani with a couple of good moments here.
00:52And South Africa with a good start in the early momentum.
00:55Defender blazed.
00:58That was tight.
00:59I still believe that there was a red jersey.
01:02In-swinging corner here.
01:05Keeper has done that well enough.
01:06Clearance only as far as Abed Abayi.
01:09Out to the far side, shot coming in.
01:11Well, he was well positioned.
01:13Well, Zamwenda, and he...
01:16able to make the save.
01:17But all the movement, all the running now,
01:19coming from the South Africans inside the opening ten.
01:22Talk about a positive start here.
01:24But certainly got the momentum in there,
01:26riding the wave here in these early stages.
01:30As I said earlier on, that this game is about spells.
01:33I hope the spell remains.
01:35Or just remains longer.
01:38Well, for those of you that may have missed the earlier 0-0 scoreline,
01:41as we look back at the shots, good placement then.
01:46Who's South Africa's goalkeeper?
01:50Mboto, he's had one touch.
01:52I never saw him.
01:53Trying to counter-attack here.
01:54Yes, Dario, the keeper of his line!
01:57Having to come up with a save, Mboto.
01:59Right on cue.
02:02Dario with a brilliant piece of visionary play there.
02:08That's a counter-attack of note.
02:10Missed kick.
02:11Got punished, almost punished for that.
02:14Not noticing that the keeper is of his line.
02:16Now you know what Mboto can do.
02:19I've never seen...
02:20But now we know to keep the sticks.
02:24Massimo!
02:25Well, into the near post.
02:26Oh, that's beautifully attacked.
02:28Unlucky to have found the side netting.
02:30But that's what Sivanioni is all about.
02:32Was...
02:35Well...
02:37Fortunate enough to get a great look at him during the playoffs.
02:41And the effect he has on games, he really is impressive in the end.
02:46Can win the playoffs to get into the DSTV Premiership,
02:50the top flight of South African football.
02:52Here is Sivanioni with the movement now.
02:53And the chance!
02:55Oh, good save!
02:56Standing save then from Wendani.
02:58Came up.
03:00One of his home grounds as we look back at the ball played over the top here.
03:05Keeper did well there.
03:06This is where he covered his line.
03:08And making sure that he just spreads himself and dart.
03:17That's nicely done.
03:18Defending the near post.
03:21Has to look up the first encounter between these two sides.
03:25In the Costa Rica...
03:26And I think I get the chance!
03:27And found the back of the net.
03:28It will count.
03:32And Stuartley, the captain, who turns it home here.
03:37Had been knocking on that door.
03:39Early ball forward.
03:41And that pass, perfect.
03:44Great vision, great first time pass.
03:46And all Stuartley had to do was put it beyond Wendani.
03:51From point-blank range then.
03:53And it's a well-worked goal for the South Africans.
03:56Sivanioni involved, winning that initial header.
03:58Lovely pass.
04:01To open up that defence.
04:20Coming to effect in a situation such as this.
04:33This ball out towards that far post.
04:35And there's the South Africans that win that header.
04:39Wendani didn't look to have it covered.
04:51That certainly did have it covered then.
04:53And then Wendani.
05:00So the two danger men from the first half have been kept quiet.
05:03Here's Mozambique with the shot!
05:05The kick! Bang!
05:07That's got a firm range.
05:09And Mozambique level.
05:11The scoreline here at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
05:15It's Tamito.
05:17That's the beating of Mboto.
05:22And brings Mozambique deservedly back into the smash.
05:24Nicely done by Dario, getting the assist.
05:27How's that for a cracking strike?
05:31Mboto, who was never engaged or involved in the game,
05:34and now had to be beaten by this.
05:36It was taken from range.
05:38Mozambique has really faced their chances.
05:40They knew they were in the game.
05:42And then, they just got paid.
05:46For their efforts.
05:47That's working.
05:48A couple of players on the edge of the box,
05:50encouraging the possible early ball here.
05:52They worked it to the byline.
05:53The cutback!
05:54The shot!
05:55Sliding in then.
05:56He got under it.
05:57It was always going high and wide.
05:59But more like it.
06:00From a South African point of view,
06:02Keanu Kibido then sliding in.
06:07That was a brilliant cross.
06:09Played just as a cutback.
06:12And taking all the Mozambiqueans out of the equation.
06:16And sliding over it did not help.
06:19It just got it to the sky.
06:22South Africa possibly looking for a yard!
06:25Defender did just about enough then.
06:28And taking a lot of the pace off the efforts from Rose.
06:35What a build-up from a bad first touch.
06:38Yep.
06:39Trying to stop it.
06:40And then he slipped.
06:41Because the pitch is dewy now.
06:43And it just went to a teammate.
06:45And almost resulted into a winner.
06:47But still time for either South Africa or Mozambique
06:49to walk away with three points here.
06:51Could have a chance on the back post!
06:53Oh!
06:54The shot's gone wide.
06:55Keanu Kibido again.
06:57Worth another opportunity.
06:59Had a bit of time.
07:00Rusts into the shot however.
07:10Well wide of the mark at the end of it all.
07:20There you have it.
07:22Group A.
07:24On the opening day of the 2024
07:27Hollywood Best Conservative Cup does not produce a winner.
07:31No, no.
07:32Earlier.
07:33Between Botswana and Eswatini.
07:36No, no.
07:37Earlier.
07:38Between Botswana and Eswatini.
07:391-1.
07:40Later in the day.
07:41Between South Africa and Mozambique.
