Bafana Complete Three-Win Camp After Dithejane Sinks Egypt 1-0 in Cairo
Puso Dithejane scored the winner as South Africa used nine changes to test young players and keep Pitso Mosimane unbeaten in his first three matches.
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, Bafana Bafana defeated Egypt 1-0 in an international friendly at Cairo International Stadium, with Puso Dithejane scoring the decisive goal.
Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane made nine changes from the previous Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, using the fixture to assess squad depth ahead of the next FIFA World Cup cycle.
Dithejane capitalized on a 51st-minute error by goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir to score, while substitute goalkeeper Ricardo Goss produced late saves to deny Egypt's comeback attempts.
The victory preserves Mosimane's perfect record in his second term and marks South Africa's second consecutive win against the Pharaohs at this venue.
With no further friendly matches scheduled until the Africa Cup of Nations next year, the outing provided critical international exposure for emerging players gaining experience at this level.
