Basetsana crash out of African Games after Cameroon defeat

The South Africa U20 women's bid to reach the African Games semi-finals ended after a 1-0 loss to Cameroon in Rabat on Saturday.

Basetsana went into the encounter, keeping in mind that a win over the Central Africans will see them through to the Last Four of the competition, having gained three points from absent Zambia.

A solitary second-half effort from Marie Manga saw the 2019 Cosafa U20 Women's Cup bronze winners sent packing from the continental showpiece at the expense of the young Lionesses.

After a goalless first half, the ambitious young Southern Africa side suffered their second defeat in the competition after crumbling to a 78th-minute strike from Manga.
