00:20 [NOISE]
00:46 >> Virginia says we'll shoot first.
00:50 >> Williams wanted to give him already.
00:52 He was asking, do you want to shoot first?
00:53 >> And he scored on his Cape Verde debut in a victory over Guadalupe in March of
00:59 2022 at the age of 31.
01:01 Bebe, first in the penalty shootout against Ronan Williams, denied by Williams.
01:08 Advantage South Africa on this auspicious day.
01:13 The first save by a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout at this
01:17 Africa Cup of Nations comes from Ronan Williams.
01:21 >> Let's say he chose the right way and
01:25 then he was spread out and then he caught the ball.
01:28 [NOISE]
01:33 For a player that has been trying to shoot from distance to hit the tag.
01:38 >> Bruginha is tucked into his net at the moment.
01:41 >> To go home with Mamelodi Sundance of South Africa.
01:50 To give South Africa the advantage in the penalty shootout through one round of
01:54 kicks to go home against Virginia fires it firmly into the back of the net.
01:59 And South Africa have the early advantage but
02:02 there's a long way to go in this shootout yet.
02:05 >> Well struck, waited for the goalkeeper and
02:08 then he went straight into the middle.
02:10 [NOISE]
02:14 That was beautifully struck.
02:16 [NOISE]
02:21 Second Cape Verde penalty, who was born on the 27th of April 1994,
02:25 the day of South Africa's first democratic elections.
02:29 A day marked as freedom day in the country for his country, denied by Williams.
02:34 [NOISE]
02:38 >> Successive saves in the penalty shootout and
02:41 it's certainly advantage South Africa now.
02:44 >> Good advantage South Africa, two penalties saved and
02:47 you can see what it means to the South African players and he goes.
02:51 You know the goalkeeper, you have to give credit to Williams.
02:53 He doesn't move, he waits for the kick and then he went and saved, a beautiful save.
02:57 [NOISE]
03:01 >> Ron Williams, there are massive cheers.
03:04 [NOISE]
03:07 >> Chief among them, Grant Johnson,
03:08 the goalkeeper coach, saves.
03:15 Now it's like a little pass up.
03:16 [NOISE]
03:20 [SOUND]
03:22 >> Only a couple of steps for
03:24 a man who scored a winning goal in an in-bank cup.
03:27 Finally he's missed it.
03:29 Over the crossbar and away.
03:32 South Africa still have the advantage, but that advantage has been cut by one.
03:36 >> Blasted the ball over the goal.
03:38 You can see, that's anxiousness.
03:41 He knows that his team on the lead and if he ends up tucking this one,
03:45 then they will be on an advantage.
03:47 But credit for the Cape Verdeans.
03:51 [NOISE]
03:54 >> Joy and delight, a celebration for Moreira.
03:58 [NOISE]
04:03 >> Ronwin Williams.
04:04 [NOISE]
04:06 >> From 12 yards out.
04:09 >> He's made three consecutive saves in the shootout.
04:14 Ronwin Williams, who's kept four consecutive clean sheets in this
04:19 AFCON, has denied Larros Duarte in this penalty shootout that is
04:23 turning into something extraordinary.
04:26 >> It is extraordinary.
04:28 Well done, Williams.
04:29 You know, he waits.
04:30 You know, we've seen goalkeepers move in before a penalty taker takes the ball.
04:36 But Williams always wait and wait for you to take the shot and
04:39 then he goes for it, and well done.
04:41 >> Verley Moutua can feel the semifinals.
04:47 Gilson Tavares can feel the semifinals slipping away.
04:53 Aubrey makes the penalty mark.
04:56 Cape Verde have been denied all three of their penalties,
05:01 saved by Ronwin Williams going to his right.

05:10 mil lead in the shootout and put them on the brink of advancing to the final four.
05:16 Mudeba against Virginia, and Virginia has denied Mudeba.
05:19 This penalty shootout is still very much alive.
05:25 We've only had one successful conversion and
05:28 it's come courtesy of Timur Hobukvena.
05:30 Three Williams saves, a miss by Lepaza, and a save by Virginia.
05:36 >> Yeah, Virginia, that's a good save, but that is a terrible penalty shot.
05:39 You know, when you know that you need to score and
05:43 put your team at the edge of heading to the semifinal, but
05:46 then you end up kicking them very- >> Who barely had a touch in the game,
05:50 makes his way to the mark.
05:53 12 yards out.
05:56 Brian Teixeira has been asked to replace that ball.
06:00 Teixeira began his career at Clermont in France.
06:07 He spent the bulk of his time on loan in the lower tiers in France before signing
06:11 for Austria-Lustenau, and then signed for his Austrian Bundesliga club in January.
06:16 He won the league title this past campaign for Sturmgratz.
06:19 Can he help Cape Verde here?
06:21 Brian Teixeira against Williams, converts and it's 1-1 in the shootout.
06:26 >> Converted first, Cape Verde have converted their first penalty and
06:29 what a penalty.
06:30 Waited for Williams and then Williams went for the ball, but
06:33 that's what it is when you put the penalty in over the ground.
06:37 >> Williams has gone the right way for every penalty kick, but
06:41 he just couldn't reach that ball.
06:42 Virginia will be called upon to,
06:50 it's 1-1 in the shootout.
06:54 This from Moutoubi Mvala to give South Africa the advantage.
06:58 [BLANK_AUDIO]
07:03 The former no-nonsense midfielder at Highlands Park.
07:06 He was a goal scorer in his days at Highlands Park and
07:09 he can certainly strike firmly from the penalty mark.
07:13 From 12 yards out against Virginia to give South Africa a 2-1 advantage in
07:17 the shootout, Moutoubi Mvala.
07:19 >> Comfortably converts.
07:23 >> Calm and collected, waited for the goalkeeper, he saw him move and
07:27 then he just plays the ball the opposite way of the goalkeeper.
07:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]

08:23 Brave, bold, brilliant, Bafana, Bafana, Marchon.
08:26 They couldn't score in 120 minutes, but they have managed brilliantly,
08:31 courtesy of Williams, to march on to the final four.
08:34 And they will meet Nigeria in Buake midweek.
08:39 Cape Verde's run comes to an end.
08:42 It's a crushing blow for a side that has proved to be compelling and
08:45 accomplished in this tournament.
08:47 And you've got to feel for a consummate, captivating Cape Verde side.
08:52 But they are crushed, they are crestfallen, and their fairy tale run is over.
08:57 It's South Africa who march on.
08:59 >> And definitely Williams, he's the man of the match.
09:03 His foot is right on the white line, so definitely they cannot call that back.
09:09 Because it's a beautiful save.
09:11 How can a goalkeeper save four penalty kicks out of five?
09:14 That tells you that they have put a lot of work on the training ground.
09:18 >> Roman Williams first to acknowledge the bench and the work that they have put in.
09:23 Lest we forget the contribution of the back group crew, of the staff behind
09:28 the scenes.
09:30 >> Hugo Brous, an Afghan winning coach, guides South Africa into the semifinals.
