Match Events
- 0' The game is set. South Africa kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' South Africa is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bongeka Gamede, as he is very good at scoring at Forsyth Barr Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' Argentina is showing some good football. However, Argentina are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' Time for substitution for South Africa. Refiloe Jane is replaced by Kholosa Biyana.
- 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Noxolo Cesane suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' What a strike from Linda Motlhalo! The score is 0-1.
