The photo of an Ivory Coast player embracing Bafana Bafana midfielder Themba Zwane after their game on Monday afternoon has gone viral and become a popular meme on social media.

One Facebook user posted the picture with the caption “Besizowina kanjani oZwane befike baqoma e-Egypt” which loosely translates to “how could we have won the game when the likes of Zwane went to Egypt and found love”.
