SA Under-23 and Congo will meet again in the return leg on Monday.
David Notoane’s South Africa Under-23 side made life difficult for themselves after playing to a 1-1 draw with Congo Brazzaville in the first leg of the Caf Olympic qualifiers at Dobsonville Stadium on Thursday.The draw can be a huge blow for South Africa with the second leg coming up on Monday 27 March at Massamba-debat Stadium.
The young Bafana Bafana side had to fight their way back to the game after Congo scored just before half-time, and the hosts managed to get an equaliser later in the second half. South Africa would go on to enjoy much of the ball possession and continued to ask some questions of Congo goalkeeper Guelor Bissila, but Notoane’s charges weren’t getting things right in front of goals.While Congo started the tie slow, the away side had the best chance of the game in the 27th minute, but goalkeeper Lincoln Vyver managed to pull a great save to deny Dayarel Diambomba from scoring and making sure the score-line remained goalless.
The second half was bound to see South Africa throwing everything at their opponents to try and get the equalising goal.
