MATCH FACTS:

(16’)
Absolutely brilliant
as South Africa take a shock lead. 

The ball drops out of the air on the edge of the penalty area and Mandla Masango brilliantly loops a volley over goalkeeper Brimah Razak and into the roof of the net. Stunning.

(73’)
Ghana are back alive. John Boye turns inside the penalty area and fires the ball in from close range.

(83’)
Incredible stuff as Andre Ayew heads Ghana into the lead.
They are going through now at the expense of Senegal.
What more drama can happen in the next six minutes?
