South Africa kicked off their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign with a thrilling 2-1 win over Angola in Group B.
Appollis scored the opener in the 21st minute, but Angola equalized through Show’s clever deflection of Fredy’s free kick just before halftime.
The winning goal came in the 79th minute, courtesy of Lyle Foster’s stunning curling shot from outside the box.
The match was a testament to South Africa’s resilience, as they overcame Angola’s strong challenge to secure a vital three points.
Coach Hugo Broos’ side dominated possession in the second half, and Foster’s goal was the perfect reward.
This win puts South Africa top of Group B, ahead of Egypt and Zimbabwe, who face off later today.
