The South African U20 side has made history by winning the U20 Africa Cup of Nations Afcon for the first time on Sunday evening in Egypt. This when Amajita beat Morocco by a solitary second half goal when star midfielder, Gomolemo Kekana fired home a beautiful goal in the 70 th minute following a long ranger pass from man of the match goalkeeper Fletcher Lowe.
It was a sweet revenge for South Africa who found themselves in the repeat of the 1997 Afcon final, where Morocco narrowly beat the South African lads 1-0 in the final.
None of the players who rewrote history on Sunday were born yet when the two nations faced off against each other 28 years ago.
The victory means Amajita will travel to the U20 FIFA World Cup in Chile later this year as the champions of Africa.
Ahead of the match, the coach of the South African Under-20 mens national football team Raymond Mdaka expressed confidence that his boys were capable of re-writing the history books.
