SA, MOZ IN 1-1 DEADLOCK

SOUTH Africa were held to a 1-1 draw by Mozambique in their Cosafa Cup match at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

The locals took the lead when Eric Sono scored in the 60th minute, but 12 minutes later the scores were level when the visitors’ captain Amid Tarmomade got the ball past SA keeper Lucky Phillips.

South Africa have already qualified for Thursday’s semifinals but had to keep their wits about them throughout the match.

Mozambique put up a solid showing throughout the match, and the tournament, but just failed to crack the South African defence.
