After hanging on for 30 minutes, the Amajimbos of South Africa succumbed to the firepower of the Senegalese and conceded 3 goals in 10 minutes.
Two South African defenders William Rennecke and Wallis scored two own goals in 2 minutes ( 36′ and 38′) to give Senegal a comfortable lead.
Ibrahima Sadio sealed the game with the 3rd goal before Omar Sall added 2 goals to make it 5-0 and ensured that Senegal progressed in the competition.
