In what must rank as one of the biggest upsets of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), underdogs South Africa on Saturday night eliminated hosts Egypt after a dominant display.
Playing an hour after Nigeria shot down defending champions Cameroun to power into the quarter-finals, Bafana Bafana followed suit by outclassing a star-studded Pharaohs side that included the mercurial African Footballer of the Year Mohammed Salah.
For the hosts, the unexpected happened at the Cairo International Stadium in the 85th minute when Thembinkosi Lorch struck to silence the full house.
Lebo Mothiba had played the ball square to Lorch on the counter-attack, and the midfielder calmly slotted the ball into the corner to slay the giants and zoom into the quarter-finals.
