Peter Mokaba Stadium will host the replay Fifa qualifier match between Bafana Bafana and Senegal’s Terenga Lions on 11 November.
Provincial Secretary of South African Football Association, Patrick Seema made the announcement during the launch of the VW South African Football (Safa) Limpopo Challenge in Polokwane earlier today (Tuesday).
The initial match was played on 12 November last year at the same venue but the Bureau for the Fifa World Cup Qualifiers ordered a replay following the confirmation of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that the lifetime ban of match referee, Joseph Lamptey be upheld. Lamptey was found guilty of match manipulation and the ban ruling imposed by the Fifa Disciplinary and Appeal Committees.
Bafana Bafana won the match 2-1 thanks to goals from Thulani Hlatshwayo, after a controversial penalty decision and Thulani Serero. Cheikh Ndoye scored a consolation goal for the visitors.
