Late penalty gifts South Africa first point against wasteful Czech Republic

Teboho Mokoena's late penalty gifted South Africa their first point of the World Cup after wasteful Czech Republic failed to make their chances pay in a 1-1 draw in Atlanta.

Bafana Bafana were desperate to respond after their disheartening opening defeat to Mexico, but they looked sluggish and lacking in creativity for much of the match. However, Pavel Sulc's clear, albeit inadvertent, handball nine minutes from time handed Teboho Mokoena the chance to salvage a point from the penalty spot.
