The South African team blew off a surprise of the caliber, and took the Egyptian team, the owner of the land and the public, from the African Nations Cup on Saturday evening.
South African striker Timbenkusi Lorsch scored the only goal in the 85th minute, using a defensive error to score from a counter-attack.
The Egyptian team did not offer the level of contemplation, and suffered a lot against the "boys", which gave a strong level, and a difficult nudge against the owners of the land.
The match saw the participation of Egyptian player Amr Warda as a substitute, for the first time after the "harassment crisis", in which a number of fans demanded to be removed from the team because of it.
South Africa will play Nigeria in the quarter-finals of the tournament next Wednesday at the Cairo International Stadium.
