It is a long way to go to Tokyo - seven more matches. But this U-23 team, in talent, certainly have the look of being capable of making it a second successive, and just third-ever, Olympic qualification for SA.
Jamie Webber in 10th minute, Teboho Mokoena in the 70th and Luther Singh in the 93rd produced three unanswered goals as SA strode to a 6-1 aggregate victory.
Their next generation who traveled to SA were somewhat pedestrian. But they worked hard to try to limit aggregate scoreline mushrooming, and the South Africans had to put in a shift for their comfortable win. Perhaps extending the aggregate lead to 4-1 distracted the SA U-23s from their purpose. They lost the crispness in their combinations and there were no more chances until the break.
