He also admitted having a few nerves as From the time the whistle blew to start this all-important game for South Africa, the visitors were under pressure. Chad were lucky not to be facing a penalty kick already on five minutes, when a defender handled the ball as he tried to clear.

On around the ten minute mark Sibusiso Zuma headed the ball just wide off a perfect cross delivered by Elrio van Heerden. South Africa were awarded a penalty on 12 minutes after Zuma was brought down by the Chad keeper when he broke through the Chad defence.

The Absa Stadium in Durban was a bit surprised at who stepped up to take the penalty, Cape Town born defender Nassief Morris. He slotted home the penalty kick with relative calm, especially since it was his first goal for South Africa in 22 games.

It was one-way traffic for the rest of the match as well, with Chad only having one shot at goal and that in the closing minutes of the match.

The result keeps South Africa in charge at the top of group D in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The other goal scorers were:
Sibusiso Zuma on 23 and 33 minutes
Siyabonga Nomvete on 69 minutes

If there is any criticism for South Africa's 'Bafana Bafana' it would be not taking all their opportunities and killing off Chad as there were many wasted chances.

All in all a solid performance with South Africa notching up a record for their biggest winning margin.
