The 19-year-old striker set up Butsaka who made no mistake as he beat Razafimaro from close range to make it 2-0 to South Africa in the 85th minute.

Bafana Bafana survive late surge and claim victory against ... (Independent Online)

South Africa qualified for the Cosafa Cup Plate Final after securing a win on their clash against Madagascar at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban on ...

The wiry winger was deployed in an unfamiliar left wing position in this match and struggled to find the kind of spark he displayed in the opening match and the kind of influence he has on a regular basis when featuring on the right flank. Although Bafana controlled the majority of the possession, it was Madagascar who provided the greater threat on goal and perhaps should've taken the lead in the opening ten minutes. Chippa United's Zuko Mdunyelwa played a neat one-two with Chumani Butsaka on the right flank before drilling a low ball across goal before Sifama pounced for his and Bafana's first goal of the competition.
