00:10underway. Starting from left to right and a
00:12Starting from left to right and a first touch already for Junior
00:15first touch already for Junior Lopez Abou.
00:19Lopez Abou. The 17-year-old who did receive
00:21The 17-year-old who did receive a yellow card against
00:23a yellow card against Burkina Faso. In fact, three of their
00:25Burkina Faso. In fact, three of their defence. Sitting on a
00:28defence.
00:36Manolo Lasso decides they are going straight down the line.
00:39Manolo Lasso decides they are going straight down the line.
00:42This is a no go area for Cameroon.
00:45This is a no go area for Cameroon.
00:46Gymbos trying to get possession.
00:53Gymbos trying to get possession.
00:56Not able to.
00:58Behaves themselves in the 18-yard area.
01:00Here's the corner coming out. It's an out-swinging right foot.
01:03And it should be punched away. It is.
01:05But Cameroon still have it alive in the box.
01:07And now, finally, it is cleared.
01:12It indeed goes and it's headed back for another corner kick.
01:19It might just be a pile driver right down the centre.
01:22And he does go straight for goal. It has to be palmed away.
01:27Radebe equal to it.
01:29And again the goalkeeper put under pressure.
01:34Cameroon looking for the space.
01:36Trying to see if they can manufacture a shot.
01:40And Radebe has to get down again.
01:45Calm needed in the ranks of the South African defence.
01:53Completely unlike what we saw against Egypt.
01:58Cameroonians headed down.
02:00Getting down onto the pitch and really breaking at pace.
02:03They've got such good areas that they're trying to exploit here.
02:09It's all Cameroon so far.
02:11South Africa but it just evades the midfielder.
02:14And Emini looking for his options.
02:18And plays it short into the midfield again.
02:20Switching play.
02:21They go for the long-range effort.
02:28A victory here would put them right amongst the race for qualification.
02:34They've started much brighter between the two sides.
02:42This time the channel cut out by Montapo.
02:46Montapo it was.
02:48Just hooked clear by South Africa's central defence.
02:51And a turn and strike.
02:53Does well to get down to his left midfield.
02:57Over the top now.
02:58Has to watch his line.
03:00Still has it though.
03:06Corner kick given.
03:08Finally we see the Kaiser Chiefs.
03:12Playing it short before the ball comes in in earnest.
03:15And now it does get whipped in.
03:16And it is a free header.
03:18Over the bar.
03:25A crucial player providing the anchor, the base of midfield.
03:31Brilliant stuff from Vitboy.
03:33South Africa are through here.
03:34They're looking for a penalty.
03:35Here's Stevens.
03:38His father was a professional footballer as well in South Africa.
03:46Mzimela.
03:48Comes around the outside.
03:49Doesn't find his full-back.
03:50Montapo just stranded.
03:52And now Cameroon look to get the shot away.
03:59Moso Mokogosi.
04:01Just putting off the striker.
04:03And it still comes back in.
04:04Cameroon.
04:05South Africa's defence at sixes and sevens.
04:08And the goalkeeper makes an outstanding save.
04:10Onto the roof of the net.
04:13It looks like the flag, though, would have called that offside.
04:18Without too many worries.
04:21Like giving the ball away in such a good position.
04:23Here's Cameroon.
04:24It's four on two here.
04:25They should open the scoring.
04:27But for the brilliance of the goalkeeper once again.
04:31So Letour Adebe is on fire.
04:36Cutting in.
04:39And looking for a long-range shot again.
04:49Beyond that, it's been a pretty clean game.
04:55South Africa look to make inroads again.
04:58Mlondo.
05:00Does well.
05:02Nice little chip ball.
05:04South Africa might find themselves in here.
05:07It's deflected and it's gone for a corner kick.
05:09Well, it appeared so.
05:18A little flick ball over the top.
05:20And South Africa collect it right where they want it.
05:23Well, you thought so.
05:24But that is the end of the first half.
05:27It says nil-nil on the score sheet.
05:33Amajibos get the second half underway.
05:37It's a very close game.
05:39It's a very close game.
05:41Playing from left to right.
05:43And it starts with the captain.
05:45Zimela.
05:47Passing now to Motsapo.
05:49He was put under a whole heap of pressure in that first.
05:55It was in fact Tebohom Langeni who had made that darting run.
05:58Straight back into the midfield.
06:00A long-range strike.
06:02And not something that we're accustomed to seeing.
06:05The striker ahead as the striker.
06:07He still has it though.
06:14That late challenge there.
06:16The pace is opening up.
06:18The game is stretching.
06:22André Mini.
06:24He goes across.
06:26And that's simple enough though.
06:30But it's a very poor free kick at that.
06:32André Mini.
06:34He's got a chance.
06:36He can't even break past the first line.
06:38Still might come back though.
06:40And a foul there.
06:42Nudged into the back of Mokokosi.
06:44It's just brilliant pressure.
06:46Shown by Cameroon.
06:48To steal the ball back at any opportunity.
06:50Working it through Bundelek.
06:52Bundelek still skips inside.
06:54And goes for goal.
06:56Has to be tipped over.
06:58On to the pitch.
07:01André Mini.
07:03Looking to affect things.
07:05And he has to be wary here.
07:07Rabede.
07:09A foul.
07:11Luckily.
07:13Ball played through by Nyangono.
07:15Well picked up by Bondoma.
07:17Good stuff here.
07:19Mini.
07:21Decides to lay it off to his fullback.
07:23A little chipped ball in.
07:25And a header without any kind of power.
07:27Directed easily.
07:30South Africa still have it.
07:32They really need to make the most of this here.
07:34Fitboy.
07:36Goes around the outside.
07:38Surely should be it here.
07:40South Africa.
07:42Hooved into touch.
07:44Into the midfield.
07:46Mareletse.
07:48A chipped pass.
07:50And well.
07:52Unorthodox defending.
07:54But it had to be done there.
07:56Cameroon decides to go long.
07:59Headed back by Mokokosi.
08:03Picked up by Nyangono.
08:05Around the outside now.
08:07Dumbogo.
08:09Beats his fullback.
08:11It's a brilliant chipped pass.
08:13Had to be defended there by Motapo.
08:15And again.
08:17Before Taylor.
08:19Manages to get it further up the pitch.
08:21Bendelec.
08:23Does brilliantly to release Mbombo.
08:25Goes around to the outside of the box.
08:28Cameroon still have it in turn and shoots.
08:30And all Cameroonian players.
08:32Here is Mbombo.
08:34Using his pace.
08:36Going at the South African defence.
08:38Mbombo.
08:40So here the corner kick for Cameroon.
08:42So much anticipation.
08:44With this last set piece.
08:46The ball gets slivered in.
08:48And Radebe.
08:50As he has done all match.
08:52Out to save his team.
08:54And he gets a free kick.
08:57And you do imagine.
08:59That will be that.
09:01After Cameroon.
09:03Were unable.
09:05To make that count.
09:07For anything.
09:09Palmed it out.
09:11And did brilliantly.
09:13The Supersport United goalkeeper.
09:15This is a bit of a worry.
09:17The way he has landed on his ankle.
09:19The game is called.
09:21And it is on.
09:24The game is called.
09:26There won't be any more.
09:28Issues to deal with.
09:30It finishes 0-0.
09:32And for all the fight.
09:34All the effort from the Indomitable Cubs.
09:36They couldn't break down.
09:38The Amajimbos of South Africa.
09:42It means that the.
09:44Team in yellow.
09:46The South Africans finish on top of the group.
09:48With four points.
09:53The Amajimbos of South Africa.
