(corrects spellling of Teboho in paragraph two) CAPE TOWN, Sept 29 (Reuters) – South Africa have been stripped of three points in their World Cup qualifying campaign for fielding an ineligible player, denting their hopes of reaching next year’s finals.
Lesotho have been awarded the match 3-0 and South Africa stripped of the points.
South Africa still top the standings but now only on goal difference from Benin.
Both teams are on 14 points with two games left.
