@SimbaSCTanzania Six wins from six for both, two goals conceded each, and two South African coaches who know each other from years in the PSL. Mngqithi's free scoring Yanga against Barker's tighter Simba is a proper clash of styles.

@BafanaBafana @StandardBankZA @adidasZA @HonorAfrica @SABC_Sport Six points from two AFCON qualifiers to go top of Group D, then a largely rotated side keeps a clean sheet in Cairo. The bigger gain from this window is depth: Mosimane now knows his fringe players can win away.

A WBC ranking alone does not make a Zambian boxer a mandatory challenger.

The WBC must sanction a final eliminator and its Board of Governors ratify the designation; David Mwale is ranked 17th at bantamweight.
