The ruthless South Africans had further opportunities to humiliate the visitors,but they could not extend their lead as Mozambique tried to fight back. To their credit, Mozambique never gave up and kept on pushing, but the Banyana rearguard did exceptionally well to contain them.
The Awcon is scheduled to take place in Morocco in July and August 2022 after being previously cancelled because of the Coronavirus outbreak.
