After their emphatic opening win over Egypt, the South Africans knew this clash against the continent’s second-ranked side would be a far sterner test – and so it proved. The opening exchanges saw South Africa control possession and territory, and they were handed a golden opportunity to take the lead when Hannah Pearce’s shot was stopped illegally on the line.
