Alexandra, Egypt (PANA) - West Africans Guinea galvanised in the last minutes of their Group C tie against South Africa at the Harras El-Hedoud Stadium here Sunday to clinch two goals that took them to the top of the group alongside defending champion Tunisia.
Sambegou Bangoura headed home the opener and compatriot Ousmane Bangoura sealed Bafana Bafana's doom after a goalmouth scramble to see the Guineans walk with all three points.
The West Africans had squandered several chances in the first half, as did their South African opponents.
Bolstered by top marksmen Benni McCarthy and Sibusiso Zuma, the South Africans wasted the few glorious opportunities left opened by a rather tight Guinean defence.
Guinea joins Tunisia at the top of the group, with the North Africans in the driver's seat on goals aggregate, having dismissed Zambia 4-1 in an earlier encounter at the same venue Sunday.
