WYC: South Africa advance, Honduras eliminated

South Africa beat Honduras 2-0 to surpass the Central Americans and finish in third place in Group F of the 2009 World Youth Championship. Honduras are eliminated from the tournament.

The South Africans were in fact the least favored side to make it to the next round after collecting only one point from their first two games.

But Andile Jali put the young Bafana Bafana in the lead after 31 minutes and Sibusiso of Moroka Swallows added a second goal right after the interval.

South Africa have the same amount of points as UAE, but the latter have a better goal record and therefore finish in second place. Nevertheless, the Africans will advance as one of the best numbers three.

For Honduras, who began so well with a 3-0 win over Hungary, the tournament has come to an end.
