CAIRO - Thembinkosi Lorch scored five minutes from time to hand South Africa an upset 1-0 win and knock holders Egypt out of the Africa Cup of Nations as the shock results at the competition continued on Saturday.
Lorch finished off a sweeping counter-attack as South Africa, who created much the better chances, finally reaped a reward for their efforts. South Africa’s quick passing moves and counter-attacking looked to catch Egypt off guard in the beginning of the game and, as the match went on, the hosts were increasingly pegged back.
