One can't lament this particular game for being short of entertainment. However, the scoreline remains goalless as Group E in the Afcon qualifiers remains unchanged with Libya maintaining top spot, followed by South Africa.

Aubrey Modiba is fouled as he looks to be in a good position to receive a cross from tau, which would have seen him one-on-one with the keeper.
The resultant free-kick is deflected off the wall onto Dolly's path, who unleashes a shot which is brilliantly saved.
In what has been a game of almosts, Buhle Mkhwanazi almost provides a moment of celebration as he connects with another quality cross from Hlanti. However, his header sails well-wide.
The striker collects an almost inch-perfect cross from Sifiso Hlanti, but he looks as if he had overrun it, only to adjust and head it goalward. Unfortunately, it sails over the crossbar.
... okay, not quite! But the Montpelier man does well after a diagonal pass from former Sundowns teammate Tau, as he beats one defender before his shot sails over the top.
Bafana captain Thulani Hlatshwayo and his centre-back partner Buhle Mkhwanazi are both beaten, leaving Khune exposed to danger, but not if the skipper has anything to do with it, as he scrambles back to make a crucial, clean tackle in the box.
Bafana still enjoying plenty of possession, but can't find a way through the final third. The new man, Grobler is the latest to be snuffed out before he can find a chance to unleash a shot.
A substitution early on, and it's the debutant, Pule who makes way for an extra striker in Bradley Grobler, who's been in red-hot form for Supersport United.
Much of Stuart Baxter's halftime team-talk will be tightening things at the back, I suspect. Bafana have not been able to cope with the visitors' on the counter. Credit to Khune for keeping things goalless.
Debutant, Vincent Pule has been one of the standout players here today. His long-range shot narrowly misses the target.
