Foster's goal marks South Africa's first opening match win in 21 years
Angola equalised with Show's goal from Fredy's free kick
South Africa's victory set them on course for knockout rounds
Lyle Foster scored a superb winner from outside the box as South Africa defeated Angola 2-1 in Africa Cup of Nations Group B in Marrakech on Monday, the first time they have won their opening match at the continental finals in 21 years.
South Africa also had a goal disallowed and struck the crossbar, just about deserving the nervy victory as Angola also had chances and will be disappointed not to have got something from the game.
