Algeria vs South Africa

South Africa took the lead in the 51st minute, as Thuso Phala shot home a pass from Sibusiso Vilakazi. They missed the chance to increase the lead four minutes later after Tokelo Rantie's penalty, awarded for a foul on Vilakazi by Aïssa Mandi, hit the bar and went out, and conceded the equalizer in the 67th minute, as Thulani Hlatshwayo headed Yacine Brahimi's cross into his own goal. Algeria took the lead as Faouzi Ghoulam received Sofiane Feghouli's cross, ran into the penalty area and hammered past the goalkeeper, and sealed the win in the 83rd minute, after Ishak Belfodil fed Islam Slimani, whose shot squirmed through the goalkeeper's hands.[1][2]
