It was a game of poor quality in front of goal, with South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo drawing a goalless draw in Abidjan. While Leopards had the better chances, Rowan Williams performed well for Hugo Burrows’ side and saved two penalties to win for Bafana Bafana Best result since 2000. We take a look back at the match and a preview of the final between Nigeria and Ivory Coast, with France 24’s James Vasina in Ivory Coast, sports reporter Thando Sibiya and Eurosport’s Reuben Ruben Slagter.
