With 13 points at the start of the meeting, the Bafana Bafana were just looking for a point to qualify. The challenge seemed in their ropes when they set foot on the lawn of Cape Coast Sports Stadium (165 km from Accra, capital of Ghana).

The Serbian technician had led the Black Stars in the final of the CAN 2010 and in the quarter-finals of the World Cup of the same year in… South Africa. The bet is proving to be a winner for the moment.
