South Africa held out for a narrow 1-0 win over hosts Tanzania in an international friendly at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday evening. Defender Siyabonga Sangweni scored the game�s only goal just before half time.
After dominating the first half and deservedly taking the lead, Bafana Bafana had to weather a storm from the Taifa Stars in the second stanza. Coach Pitso Mosimane will no doubt be pleased with the result, achieved with a shadow squad made up almost entirely of local players, and at handing ten players their first senior caps in the match.
