South Africa can still qualify but it is a tough task.

90' +3 - Another promising chance to South Africa, but the final ball from Parker to Vilakazi is slightly behind the South African player.
23 Jan 2015
90' +2 - Rantie gets the ball on the left hand side of the big box, powers towards goal and lets fly with his left foot, but it is wide of the left hand upright.
23 Jan 2015
89' - Eventually Senegal work a corner which is floated in, Mbodji has a chance with a header again, but he directs it wide.
23 Jan 2015
82' - Another block from Senegal prevents a certain goal. Great work by Vilakazi and Matlaba's whose shot was eventually blocked.
23 Jan 2015
73' - Rantie with another half chance, but a good block from M'Bengue averts the danger.
23 Jan 2015
71' - Vilakazi and Rantie combine again, but the pass is slightly behind Rantie. Cleared by Senegal.
23 Jan 2015
68' - Corner to Senegal and South Africa struggle to defend it once again. Eventually Mabokgwane collects.
23 Jan 2015
63' - Free kick in a good position for South Africa, after a hand ball by Senegal. It is around 25m out and just to the right of the goal.
23 Jan 2015
60' - Beautiful free kick floated in by Diop finds Mbodji who climbs above the South African defence and sends a header into the back of the net over Mabokgwane slightly off his line. Not what South Africa wanted.
23 Jan 2015
55' - Free kick to Senegal. The ball is swung in, not dealt with by the South African defence and Mabokgwane lets the ball slip through his hands for Mane to bundle it into the net. OFFSIDE! Lucky there for South Africa.
23 Jan 2015
53' - The first Senegalese attack of the second half as Diouf powers away down the left. He delivers the ball across the face of the goal but non of his teammates were following up.
23 Jan 2015
47' - What a start from South Africa! The ball was worked out to the right to Ngcongca, his low cross came right through the crowded box, out to Manyisa on the left hand side of the big box and his placed right footed shot beats the goal keeper and settles into the net, just inside the right hand upright. That is Manyisa's first goal for South Africa, what a time to get it!

HALF TIME
It's 0-0 at the end of the first 45 minutes. Chances for both sides, but we remain goalless in this Group C encounter.
23 Jan 2015
45' - A real chance for Senegal, the corner find Diop unmarked on the right hand side of the goal, but he can only direct his header wide. He should have done better with that.
23 Jan 2015
44' - Good chance for Senegal as they work space on the left. Jali pulls off a brilliant block to deny them, the ball goes out for a corner.
23 Jan 2015
43' - Matlaba with attempt from the left of the big box, but it flies wide of the left hand upright. The keeper had that covered if it was on target.
23 Jan 2015
42' - Great chance for Vilakazi as he receives the ball in the centre of the box, his snap shot is over the bar.
23 Jan 2015
40' - Corner to Senegal, cleared by Furman. The ball comes back into the South African box and Mabokgwane just about manages to collect the ball. He misjudged that badly.
23 Jan 2015
38' - Free kick to Senegal after Furman has a little push on Diop. Floated in to test Mabokgwane but the South African goalkeeper is up to it and collects under some pressure.
23 Jan 2015
33' - Free kick to South Africa as Phala is fouled. Phala rolls the ball to Manyisa but he blasts the ball well over the crossbar.
23 Jan 2015
32' - Senegal clear the free kick easily and launch a quick counter, but the through ball by Senegal is too long and Mabokgwane collects.
