After its return to the African Cup of Nations more than 30 years later, Ethiopia will once again try to create a surprise during the last round of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. Because the Walya Antelopes have obtained their ticket for these play-offs by dominating South Africa this Sunday in Addis Ababa by 2-1.
South Africa had to win to have any hope in this competition, and Bafana Bafana started the game well with a goal in the 33rd minute from Bernard Parker. But Kebede puts the two teams back on level terms before the break. Returning from the locker room, Parker once again scored a goal in the game but in the wrong direction: an own goal.
This result therefore allows Ethiopia to have 13 points, 5 more than South Africa (8 points). Botswana beat Central African Republic 2-1 on Saturday. The Antelopes thus reach Ivory Coast and Egypt.
