17:33 - SAD NEWS
Sad news filtering in from Brazzaville is that Ethiopia have beaten CAR 2-1 and have topped Group A as a result. They will progress to the next stage of qualification.
Bafana Bafana will have to fight another day...
17:26 - Coach Gordon Igesund refuses to be drawn on why Thulani Serero was released from the squad - but promises to do so following the post-match press conference.
17:23 - Dean Furman, in a very English accent, is named man of the match. Well deserved?
17:23 - Stats show Bafana enjoyed a 59%-41% possession advantage in the match
17:22 - FULL-TIME in Durban, and Bafana Bafana have emerged well-deserved 4-1 victors.
Now they wait for the final whistle to sound in Brazzaville...
17:19 - The fourth official shows that THREE minutes of extra-time will be played
17:18 - That's Parker's second goal of the match - in the 90th minute - and has sealed the win for the hosts. But will it be enough... ?
17:17 - Bernard Parker to take the penalty... and he SCORES!
17:16 - PENALTY for Bafana Bafana as Daine Klate is brought down in the circle

15:00 - WHAT BAFANA NEED TO DO
WIN!
Jokes aside, in order for to Bafana Bafana to stand ANY chance of progressing to the next stage of qualification for the 2014 Soccer World Cup in Brazil, they have to beat Botswana.
However, that may not be enough...
They also need current Group A log leaders Ethiopia NOT to beat the CAR in their final qualifier, also taking place at 15:30 today in Brazzaville.
