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 85^th 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.
