South Africa defeats the Democratic Republic of Congo and wins the African Cup bronze. The "Bafana Bafana" team won the African World Cup bronze medal for the second time in its history, after clinching it for the first time in the 22nd edition in Ghana and Nigeria in 2000.

The match for third and fourth place was open, as the two teams went on the attack and had no chance to seize the lead. South Africa missed the first kick through Teboho Mokoena, before Chancel Mbemba missed the fifth kick that could have been.
