Mario Marinica’s side were bottom of Group B at the start of the day, but did not play like it at all, and they equalised against the run of play through Tawanda Maswanhise’s superb solo strike on 19 minutes. The right winger weaved in and out of flailing South African challenges before unleashing an arrowed effort into the far corner beyond Ronwen Williams. Level at the interval with both goalkeepers tested on numerous occasions, it was Bafana Bafana who eked their noses ahead once more, as Lyle Foster put his head in where it hurts to nod home a bouncing ball over the top, beating the onrushing Arubi to it with five minutes played of the second period.
