Hello and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the crucial Group C match between South Africa and Ghana from Estadio de Mongomo. Kick-off 18.00. Team news to follow shortly.

Gyan runs straight into a defender in the box and goes down, asking for a penalty. Didn’t look too much in it.

South Africa have to keep up this tempo. The danger is that if they sit back this early, it could be dangerous.

As far as the goal was concerned, the keeper was well positioned but it dipped over his head. Great strike.

That puts the cat amongst the pigeons as far as the group is concerned and that goal seems to have stunned Ghana. Chance for Gyan but he snatches at it and it’s well wide.

WHAT A GOAL! Against the run of play and it’s a wonderful strike off balance from outside the box from Masango that sails past Brimah and into the net! Cracker.

As it stands, Algeria would win the group with Senegal qualifying due to their head-to-head with Ghana.

POSSESSION: SA 43%-57% GHANA

Gyan tries to create something but Mathoho across well and it’s out for a throw.

NEWS FROM SENEGAL: Algeria take the lead and are now in position to qualify.

It wasn’t great keeping from Khuzwayo who spilled it straight to Ayew but a great defensive clearance from Mathoho saved SA.

The defence all over the place for South Africa. If they don’t get it sorted, they’re going home.

CHANCE GHANA: Towering header from Mensah flashes just wide and then a great block on the line from Mathoho keeps the score at 0-0 from Ayew's header!

STAT: SA have never beaten Ghana in an African Nations Cup match.

Nice inventive play from Ngcongca, the right back. His smart ball down the flank has just too much on it. But he’s been excellent so far.

South Africa have been very unlucky in their first two games, could have won both of them. But they are where they are. Cautious start by both sides with two wasted long balls.

Referee Nampiandraza blows the whistle to get us underway here, and it could be a cracker in this group where any team could qualify! All to play for.

A reminder of the team line-ups.

TEN MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: Remember, even victory for South Africa may not be enough. If Ghana win, they're through. Bafana Bafana must win and hope that Senegal beat Algeria to go through. Of course, we’ll keep you updated with all the permutations as the game progresses!

Andre Ayew: "We're not taking anything for granted. Algeria is behind us and next is South Africa. It will be a very tough battle. Expectations back at home must now have risen, but Ghana have always dealt with the pressure."
