Important Events

Ireland were denied what appeared to be a clear penalty shout on 13 minutes, when Gould sent Caleb Folan to the ground, and to add injury to insult the Hull striker left the field for ten minutes to receive stitches to a head wound.

South Africa continued to dominate possession but failed to create a clear cut opportunity, and that frustration was shown by Mphela’s effort to win a penalty after a good ball from Pienaar.

The Everton midfielder was in the thick of things once again when he was booked for handling Lawrence’s free kick on the edge of the box – but he could do nothing about the Stoke player’s re-taken effort, and neither could Rowen Fernandez as the ball found the top corner.

Neither side made a change at the break but Ireland looked more comfortable as the second half began. Trapattoni’s men passed more convincingly than in the opening period and contained South Africa’s attacks more easily, and looked to attack on the break themselves.
