WAFCON 2026: South Africa fight back to earn dramatic draw against Côte d’Ivoire

South Africa staged a spirited second-half comeback to rescue a 2-2 draw against Côte d'Ivoire in Friday’s TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026 Group B clash, keeping their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals alive.

The draw leaves Group B finely poised heading into the final round of fixtures, with the Ivorians in a favorable position with four points, while South Africa’s single point keeps them in contention.

South Africa looked for an immediate response and Bongeka Gamede came close in the 20th minute, but her header drifted over the crossbar.
