Against all odds, lowly-rated and less fancied South Africa dumped Mohamed Salah’s Egypt out of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)  and setting up an interesting quarter-finals fixture with Nigeria’s Super Eagles on Wednesday.

South Africa hit Egypt on the counter-attack as Thembinkosi Lorch calmly slotted into the corner.

The hosts’ best chance fell to Mahmoud Trezeguet, but he could only fire his shot straight at Ronwen Williams.
