JOHANNESBURG. — The South African Under-17 men’s soccer team have made history for their generation as the first ever South African squad to qualify for the 2015 Fifa Under-17 World Cup to be hosted by Chile in October this year.
Amajimbos beat Cameroon 3-1 in their final match of Group B of the Caf Under-17 CAN on Sunday at the General Seyni Kountche Stadium in Niamey, Niger, to make the semi-finals and automatically earn a spot at the World Cup, alongside Nigeria, Guinea and Mali.
South Africa made their intent known and as early as the second minute, took the lead.
They won a set-piece on the edge of the box and from a goalmouth melee, the Cameroonians scored an own goal.
Amajimbos never looked back from this advantage, piling lots of pressure and by half-time, were 2-0 to the good. — Supersport.com
