South Africa beat Comoros 3-0 at the University of Johannesburg’s AW Muller Stadium.
South Africa took the lead in the fifth minute against Comoros when Selwyn Stevens pounced on a loose ball after Comoros goalkeeper spilled it. South Africa back four and holding midfielder Kamohelo Maraletse circulated the ball from one side to another in order to lure Comoros to press so that they could find spaces to exploit because they were defending too deep in their half.
Comoros mainly counter-attacked where striker Yazid Abdou Chakour was the focal point but he found it hard to beat the South African two central defenders as they simply guided him into wide spaces or dispossessed him.
Maraletse scored the second goal for South Africa from a Stevens’ cutback in the 63rd minute. In the 86th minute, Omphemetse Sekgoto scored the third goal for South Africa.
