Hilarious AFCON commentary sees broadcaster go viral AGAIN, as Mohamed Barakat sings World Cup classic 'Waka Waka' in shoot-out after rising to fame during Everton's defeat to Fulham earlier this season

A commentator has gone viral after singing during South Africa's African Cup of Nations win over Cape Verde.

South Africa progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament after winning in dramatic fashion, defeating their opponents in a penalty shootout after the game had finished 0-0.

In a fairly even game, the two sides played out a hard-fought draw which saw 41 shots taken, but the deadline was unable to be broken by either side in the 120 minutes played.

Ronwen Williams was the hero in the shoot-out, saving four Cape Verde spot kicks as his side won 2-1 overall in a series of penalties that lacked quality.
