South Africa v Afghanistan
South Africa (3) v (3) Afghanistan (South Africa win on penalties)
South Africa warm up with some slick skills entertaining the crowd....but they need to do the business on the pitch as well.However Afghanistan make them pay with a good goal after just 20 seconds - they are really fired up for this one.
Afghanistan however are playing a little selfishly instead playing their usual patient passing game and SA make them pay with 3 goals in a row. A lot of the goals coming from quick breaks from defence as the Afghanistan team push forward.
Afghanistan manage to pull one back however and keep themselves in the game.
HT 3-2
Afghanistan regain their composure after the break and equalise to make it 3-3 but neither team cn make the breakthrough.
FT 3-3
yet another game goes to penalties - don't these guys realise we have a schedule to keep to?!
SA come out victorious in the penalty shootout and the Afghanistan team are disconsolate however they performed very well and it's tough luck that they lost..
They have a great team spirit and i think they will bounce back.
