Thembinkosi Lorch struck an 85th-minute winner in Cairo

South Africa knocked hosts Egypt out of the Africa Cup of Nations and booked their place in the quarter-finals with a late winner in Cairo.

With Egypt throwing players forward, Thembinkosi Lorch struck on the counter-attack after 85 minutes.

Mahmoud Trezeguet had the hosts’ best chance, but he fired at the goalkeeper.

Egypt have followed holders Cameroon out of the tournament, while South Africa will return to Cairo to play Nigeria in the last eight on Wednesday.
