Bafana Bafana take Cosafa Cup third place from Malawi on penalties: Bafana Bafana needed the penalty shoot-out, which they won 5-3, to beat Malawi for the 2023 Cosafa Cup third position at King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban on Sunday.
The third-place playoff went to spot-kicks after the two sides had played to a goalless draw despite both creating several chances.
South Africa failed to go all the way in the tournament after they lost 2-1 to Zambia in the semifinals. Kaizer Chiefs’ duo of 18-year-old Puso Dithejane and Siyabonga Gumede, Lesego Sebetlela, Genino Palace came into the starting line-up while previous front-liners such Lyle Lakay, Iqraam Rayners, Thembela Sikhakhane and Thabo Cele dropped to the bench.
Mzimela was the busiest of the two goalkeepers in the first half and produced several excellent saves to keep the visitors at bay.
