15' Bill Antonio (Zimbabwe) seems to have picked up a minor injury, but it looks like he will be able to continue playing.
13' Looks like Bill Antonio (Zimbabwe) is struggling after picking up a knock. Hopefully he can run it off.
12' Oswin Appollis (South Africa) collects a pass from the flank, looks up and fires in a goal-bound shot from the edge of the box which canons off a defender to safety.
10' Daniel Msendami (Zimbabwe) clearly holds his opponent to prevent him from getting the ball and the referee immediately stops play.
