Bafana Bafana successfully win the COSAFA Cup
Briefly News previously reported that South Africa won the 2021 COSAFA Cup championship at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, beating Senegal 5-4 on penalties (0-0 after extra time).
Bafana Bafana captain Veli Mothwa was the hero of the day, leading the team to their first COSAFA Cup triumph since 2016 and sixth overall.
South Africa had not allowed a single goal throughout the tournament but were on the verge of losing in the shootout after Ethan Brooks' attempt was saved by Lions of Teranga goalkeeper Pape Ndiaye after four successful kicks, according to SuperSport.
