Match Recap

P. Dithejane needed only six minutes of the second half to settle this one, slotting home in the 51st minute for the only goal as Egypt hosted South Africa in Friendlies action. It's a tidy reversal of history: Egypt had won their only previous meeting between these two sides, but Dithejane's strike flips that ledger and hands South Africa a 1-0 win instead. Neither team found the net again, and the contest stayed tight throughout, the kind of low-scoring friendly where one moment decides everything. For Egypt, it's a rare slip against this opponent; for South Africa, a statement result regardless of the friendly label. Dithejane's finish, calm and clean just after the restart, is the moment worth rewinding for. Watch exactly how he beat Egypt's defense and turned a scoreless afternoon into a 1-0 away win in the highlights below.
