South Africa complete record win
Sibusiso Zuma
Sibusiso Zuma scored a brace in South Africa's 4-0 win
South Africa posted a record winning margin to stay top of Group Eleven by thrashing Chad 4-0 in Durban on Saturday.

The record score line for the Bafana Bafana came in what was the side's 200th match since returning to international competition 15 years ago.

Nasief Morris scored his first goal for South Africa when he converted a 13-minute penalty, after Sibusiso Zuma was brought down by Chad goalkeeper Mamadou Bouba.

Durban-born striker Zuma then doubled the advantage, volleying low into the corner of the goal on 23 minutes.

Zuma rounded the goalkeeper in the 33rd minute to score his second and South Africa's third.

Elrio van Heerden then dribbled past five opponents before crossing for substitute Siyabonga Nomvete to score from close range to complete the 4-0 rout.

South Africa's new record breaks their previous record-winning score line of 4-1 achieved against three different countries - Namibia, Gabon and Swaziland.

There was also an easy 3-0 win for Zambia over Congo in the other Group Eleven game on Saturday.

Collins Mbesuma capitalised on a poor clearance to put Jacob Mulenga through to score the opening goal of the game.

Gildas Ngo then scored an own goal before Mulenga turned provider for Songwe Chalwe to wrap up the victory for Zambia.

After games in Group Eleven South Africa have 10 points while Zambia leapfrog over Congo into second place with seven points.

Chad remain routed to the bottom of the group without a single point in the campaign so far.
