The match ended at Cairo International Stadium. South Africa defeated Egypt 1-0 on home soil in this international friendly.

Dithejane gives Bafana Bafana the win

After the two teams were tied 0-0 at half-time, Bafana Bafana managed to make the difference after returning from the dressing rooms. Puso Dithejane scored the only goal of the match in the second half, specifically in the 51st minute. This is a major result for Pitso Mosimane's men, who did not field the jewel Relebohile Mofokeng, scorer of a brace against Eritrea (5-0).

After their perfect start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with wins over Guinea (2-1) and Eritrea (5-0), they secured their third consecutive victory during the September and October international break.

Egypt's run comes to a halt

The Pharaohs, who were without Mohamed Salah while Emam Ashour and Omar Marmoush started, were unable to maintain their results in front of their home fans. After an opening draw against Angola (0-0) and a big win over South Sudan (5-0) in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Hossam Hassan's men suffered a home defeat.
