Amajimbos went into the break in the lead after Steven Mendes opened the scoring with a stunning shot from a wide angle in the 33rd minute.
Sivuziwe Lonzi then doubled the lead for South Africa in the 57th minute, but Colombia managed to get back into the match with goals from Nick Mendez and Edmilson Herazo in the 79th and 90th minute respectively..
First and foremost I must say Im proud of these boys. The shift they put in, was OK. I think leading two-zero and doing so well, amazing, keeping the possession, they ticked all the boxes in terms of the tactical agreement that we had. Its only the two goals we conceded, which were giveaways, said Khumalo in a short video posted by Safa media after the game.
Khumalo added that Herazos equaliser for Colombia should not have stood because Amajimbos goalkeeper was fouled before it was scored.
It was looking perfect, it was looking good. Its only the last five minutes where we lost the game, in fact not necessarily lost it, but conceding those two goals. We didnt want to concede the goals, but its one of those things. Elementary mistakes from our goalkeeper, but we take the draw and go, commented Khumalo.
The sides are set to meet again in the second international friendly on Wednesday.
