Tuesday saw yet another African shock in the FIFA World Cup, as Ghana held England to a 0-0 draw. Congo DR, however, fell to a 1-0 defeat to Colombia, and Bafana Bafana will likely need a win against South Korea on Wednesday to have any real chance of progress.

Hugo Broos' side need all three points to avoid hoping on any highly improbable scenario that would rely heavily on other results all falling in their favour for them to progress from Group A. Apart from the clash between South Africa and South Korea, Wednesday's action will also see Morocco take on Haiti.
