There was one element, however, in which it is hard to remember a more clinical display from Bafana for some time.

Bafana won their opening game of the tournament against Palancas Negras with two excellent finishes from Oswin Appollis and Lyle Foster. There was also a wonderfully crisp strike from Tshepang Moremi that would have been a goal but for Foster being narrowly offside in the buildup.
