Mokoena's Late Penalty Secures Draw for South Africa

In a FIFA World Cup match, Teboho Mokoena scored a penalty in the 83rd minute, earning South Africa a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic. The match began with Michal Sadilek scoring the earliest goal of the tournament in the 5th minute.
Bafana Bafana struggled to create opportunities, managing their first shot on target only in the 74th minute. Thapelo Maseko's shot led to the penalty after it struck Pavel Sulc's arm in the Czech box.
Mokoena converted the penalty, placing the ball in the left corner. Despite the draw, South Africa's chances of qualifying for the knockout stage remain uncertain, as they trail behind Mexico and South Korea, who each have three points.
South Africa will face South Korea in their final group game on Thursday, June 25, at 02:00 BST.
