Bafana Bafana 

Bafana Bafana kept their World Cup knockout hopes alive with a dramatic 1-1 draw against Czechia, thanks to an 83rd-minute penalty from Teboho Mokoena . The result was a vital response after falling behind early once again, with Michal Sadílek giving the Czechs the lead in the 6th minute . Hugo Broos made three changes to the starting line-up, shifting to a more attacking 4-3-3 formation after the opening defeat to Mexico . The team showed improved fight and discipline, with Thapelo Maseko winning the decisive penalty, but the draw came at a cost as Mokoena will be suspended for the must-win final group match against South Korea next Wednesday .
