"South Africa clinched their place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations with a thrilling 3-2 win over Zimbabwe. Bafana Bafana only needed a point to secure their spot in the knockout rounds, but were made to work hard by neighbours Zimbabwe in Marrakech. Oswin Appollis' 82nd-minute penalty made sure of victory for South Africa, but only after a significant scare from Zimbabwe."
"South Africa needed just seven minutes to break the deadlock, Tshepang Moremi finding the net with a heavily deflected effort that looped over stricken goalkeeper Washington Arubi. Yet Zimbabwe levelled 12 minutes later, Tawanda Maswanhise firing into the bottom-left corner after a fine run into the box. South Africa restored their advantage five minutes into the second half, Lyle Foster pouncing on a defensive error as he beat Arubi to a loose ball to head home."
