The African nation surrendered the lead thrice to allow the European nation to come from behind and claim victory in a seven-goal thriller
South Africa head coach David Notoane has stated his side will play for pride when they face Mexico in the Tokyo Olympic Games on July 28.
South Africa lost their second group game to France, with a 3-4 margin where the former scored through Kobamelo Kodisang, Evidence Makgopa and Teboho Mokoena while a hat-trick by Andre-Pierre Gignac and a goal from Teji Savanier inspired the latter to a slim win.
"We have to go to the last game and play for our pride and try our best to get to the next round," Notoane told reporters.
