The young Bafana came back from a goal down in the first-leg leg to rescue a draw courtesy of a goal by Thapelo Maseko with 21 minutes remaining after Love Bassila Mabiala had given Congo the lead just before the interval. The sides created chances in the early stages but they were not decisive in the last third, with Notoane's charges chasing the game after they conceded an away goal in the first leg.
However, Radiopane had a chance to break the deadlock just before the interval but could only release a shot that was easy for the Congo goalkeeper to deal with and South Africa had all the work to do in the second stanza if they were to qualify.
