South Africa 0-0 Cameroon 1'

Burnley man, Lyle Foster fires in a header from the centre of the box following a set piece situation. However, it goes wide.

South Africa 0-0 Cameroon 3'

Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo is favourite to score tonight against the Bafana Bafana. The Cameroonian looks class apart and his creativity could be crucial if they are to get past the Rd of 16.

South Africa 0-0 Cameroon 11'

Cameroon player Darlin Yongwa gets an injury and that results in a delay. However, the player is treated and away we go.

South Africa 0-0 Cameroon 18'

Darlin Yongwa cannot continue and he is subbed off. On comes Aboubakar Nagida.

South Africa 0-0 Cameroon 21'

RSA player Oswin Appollis has his shot saved as Bafana Bafana have an attempt on the Cameroon goal.

South Africa 0-0 Cameroon 27'

Cameroon break the shackles as Junior Tchamadeu puts the ball past the RSA net and give his side a deserved 1-0 lead in the Round of 16 tie.

South Africa 0-1 Cameroon 34'

Cameroon find themselves on the upper-hand with that goal and could also close this one out with another goal. A killer blow that would be for the Bafana Bafana.

South Africa 0-1 Cameroon 41'

The stoppage time comes to and with the referee's whistle and both the teams are heading towards their locker room. Cameroon are leading by 1-0 against the Bafana Bafana at half-time.

South Africa 0-1 Cameroon

Christian Kofane has come up with some important goals for Cameroon and he does one tonight, as he doubles their lead in the Round of 16 tie. Pressure on Bafana Bafana straightaway.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 47'

Pressure on South Africa already with that second goal and now, it remains to be seen how they respond to this 2-0 lead. Tough task this but anything is possible.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 54'

Nkosinathi Sibisi of South Africa goes into a bad challenge and that gets him booked.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 59'

Evidence Makgopa replaces Oswin Appollis

Aubrey Modiba replaces Samukelo Kabini

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 64'

South Africa look out of ideas and creativity on the football pitch. Cameroon are all over them and that will be a major worry to their manager.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 67'

Lyle Foster has been relatively quiet by his standards. The Burnley forward has not been to his best tonight and that has a lot to say about Bafana Bafana.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 72'

Unless a crazy fightback, this game seems to headed to a Cameroon win. Mbeumo and co are on their way, in what seems to be a deserved victory for the Indomitable Lions.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 80'

Five mins away are Cameroon from progressing further and sending RSA out of the tournament. A thorough professional performance from Bryan Mbeumo and co.

South Africa 0-2 Cameroon 85'

Evidence Makgopa has made things interesting for Bafana Bafana with a late goal. Things will get jittery for Cameroon now, with that goal. RSA are back in it.

South Africa 1-2 Cameroon 88'

Fourth official has announced 5 minutes of added time.

South Africa 1-2 Cameroon 90+1'

Oh South Africa. Ref blows the FT whistle as Cameroon escape with a slender 2-1 win over the Bafana Bafana despite the latter's late fightback.
