1708 <\/strong>Confusion over who qualifies from Group G. South Africa, Niger <\/strong>and Sierra Leone <\/strong>all finish on 9 points. Bafana Bafana think they’re through so do Niger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1654 South Africa<\/strong>‘s squad and technical team are celebrating. They are dancing around the stadium and the crowd has gone wild. Are they set to be crest-fallen?<\/p>\n

1651 FULL TIME South Africa 0-0 Sierra Leone<\/strong>. It is understood that NIGER<\/strong> have qualified despite their loss in Egypt<\/strong>. This is because Niger, South Africa and Sierra Leone all have nine points in the group – but Niger have the better points tally when all results between those three sides are taken into account.<\/p>\n

1646 <\/strong>We think – having consulted our calculators – that Niger<\/strong> <\/strong>are looking good in their group, because if South Africa Sierra Leone <\/strong>ends goalless then in the mini-league to decide head-to-head the Mena are ahead.<\/p>\n

1633 Sierra Leone <\/strong>go close through Sherrif Suma but it’s tipped over the bar by Bafana Bafana keeper Itumelang Khune. Time running out in that one – the winner will go through assuming Niger<\/strong> <\/strong>are beaten by Egypt<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1622 South Africa <\/strong>bring on central midfielder Reneilwe ‘Yeye’ Letsholonyane for Bernard Parker, while Sierra Leone<\/strong> replace striker Ibrahim Bangura with Sam Metzger.<\/p>\n

1620 South Africa<\/strong>‘s Siphiwe Tshabalala has the best chance of the game but shoots over the bar. Bafana Bafana are putting on the pressure.<\/p>\n

1607 <\/strong>The second half in Nelspruit is underway with both South Africa<\/strong> <\/strong>and Sierra Leone<\/strong> <\/strong>knowing that to qualify, the next 45 minutes is crucial.<\/p>\n

1548 <\/strong>Halftime in South Africa<\/strong> <\/strong>where Bafana Bafana are playing Sierra Leone<\/strong> <\/strong>and it’s 0-0.<\/p>\n

1536 <\/strong>With Egypt<\/strong> <\/strong>and Niger<\/strong> <\/strong>drawing in Cairo so far, a winner in Nelspruit between South Africa<\/strong> <\/strong>and Sierra Leone<\/strong> <\/strong>will make it to the finals, but there’s no score yet. South Africa have been pressing though with a shot going over the bar from Siphiwe Tshabala – the Leone Stars have yet to have a chance.<\/p>\n

1518 <\/strong>Meanwhile it’s 0-0 between South Africa<\/strong> <\/strong>and Sierra Leone<\/strong> <\/strong>in Nelspruit.<\/p>\n

1500 T<\/strong>hey’re underway in Nelspruit as South Africa<\/strong> <\/strong>take on Sierra Leone<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n
