South Africa qualifies for World Cup knockout stage after defeating South Korea

South Africa’s national football team, Bafana Bafana, secured a historic 1-0 victory over South Korea, advancing to the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time. This achievement follows a disappointing opening loss to Mexico, after which South Africa managed a draw against the Czech Republic. Thapelo Maseko scored the decisive goal in the 63rd minute, leading to a matchup against co-hosts Canada on June 28. Mexico topped Group A with a perfect record.
