***MATCH REPORT***
Another sterling defensive effort by South Africa contributed to this win. Meyiwa was outstanding in goal again for Bafana, pulling off a number of saves.
The goals by Ndulula and Rantie were extremely well taken (and Furman's pass to Rantie was brilliant).
Congo will be unhappy that they didn't take at least one of their numerous chances, they were wasteful in front of goal today.
Bafana Bafana now lead Group A with 7 points. Sudan take on Nigeria later today.
