45'

We’re back underway here in the second half. As it stands, Algeria and Senegal go through with these two teams missing out. We’re all set for an absolutely cracker!

HALF TIME: SOUTH AFRICA 1-0 GHANA

45'

Only one added minute here.

44'

POSSESSION: SA 41%-59% Ghana

42'

It's still 1-0 to Algeria in the other match, which means Senegal and Algeria in pole position.

41'

SHOTS: SA 2-6 GHANA

40'

SA still looking threatening on the counter and Brimah forced into a good save from Ndulula’s header at the far post! So much action here.

38'

HERE'S THAT GOAL!

36'

Yellow card for Ngcongca for a challenge on Ayew.

35'

Ghana sub: Boye on for Amartey.

34'

Looks like Amartey is struggling and could be about to be replaced. Next goal absolutely key.

32'

South Africa and have dominated the last five minutes but a marvellous save from Khuzwayo from Rahman keeps them ahead!

30'

Really bad tackle on Jali from a high foot from Gyan. That could have been close to a red card!

29'

Ghana test out Khuzwayo with a long ball but he leaps to catch it. Seems he’s okay for the time being…

28'

South Africa changed their keeper for the third game on the trot and this could be a fourth! Extraordinary.

27'

Amartey arrives late in the box but his header hits his own man and the chance is gone. Khuzwayo has gone down clutching his hamstring…

26'

AS IT STANDS: Both teams are out. SA tie with Senegal on points but one behind on goal difference. Ghana need another.

25'

23'

Ghana win a corner. Good punch from Khuzwayo and that will be a confidence builder. Worryingly, SA are playing very deep, inviting pressure.

22'

Gyan runs straight into a defender in the box and goes down, asking for a penalty. Didn’t look too much in it.
