Pre Ghana v South Africa AFCON facts *The first time both teams met at an AFCON was the 1996 semifinal. After an Ablade Kumah had been wrongly chalked off, South Africa thrashed Ghana 3-0 and but for stunning saves by Simon Addo, it could have been worse. *The second time was four years later, at the 2000 AFCON quarterfinals in Kumasi. A Siyabonga Nomvethe strike sealed a 1-0 win for Bafana Bafana. *The third time was during Mali 2002, when Quniton Fortune missed a penalty and Michael Essien hit the cross bar with a fierce shot as the game ended 0-0. *Thus Ghana is yet to score a goal against South Africa during an AFCON match. *Ghana has lost only 4 times in final Group encounters in the history of the AFCON; 1980, 1998, 2000 and 2006
