FT	The referee brings proceedings to a close as Igesund guides Bafana to their third win in six games since taking charge. He will be less happy with their second-half display, though, as Malawi were allowed to come back into the contest after the break and looked the more dangerous team for the second 45 minutes.
94	Manyisa picks up the ball in the middle 30 yards out and takes a few touches before attempting to curl the ball into the top right corner of the goal, but Nthala is equal to the task.

42	SUBSTITUTION: Malawai strangely make a change just before the break with Robin Ngalande coming off for Zicco Mkanda.
