Da Gama makes one change for Algeria

Cape Town - Owen da Gama has given Riyaad Norodien his first start at the Under-23 AFCON tournament as Amaglug-glug prepare to face Algeria.

Norodien was the only change to the starting XI that beat Tunisia 1-0 in their last group stage fixture.

The Ajax Cape Town midfielder replaces Siphelele Ntshangase and will hope to inflict fear into the Desert Foxes.

South Africa and Algeria go head-to-head at the Stade Leopold Senghor in Dakar, Senegal on Wednesday.

Kick-off is at 20:30 (SA time).

Starting XI

Jody February (GK), Kwanda Mngonyama, Rivaldo Coetzee, Tebogo Moerane, Abbubaker Mobara, Keagan Dolly (captain), Phumlani Ntshangase, Menzi Masuku, Deolin Mekoa, Riyaad Norodien, Gift Motupa

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
