Last games

Ethiopia 1-3 South Africa, 2021
Ethiopia 2-1 South Africa, 2013
South Africa 1-1 Ethiopia, 2012
Key player Ethiopia
Getaneh Kebede was one of the best from three quarters of the field forward in the last match, scoring the only goal for the Ethiopians and he will have to keep that same momentum to get a positive result.
Key player South Africa
Mothobi Mvala is the man who can move the offense in the midfield and, in addition, is an element that knows how to join the attack and proof of this is that he scored in the away win against Ethiopia.
Last Team Ethiopia
23 Fasil Gebremichael, 20 Ramadan Yesuf, 16 Yared Baye, 15 Aschalew, 21 Asrat Tonjo, 18 Shemeles Bekele, 8 Surafel Dagnachew, 12 Yehun Endeshaw, 10 Abubeker Nasser, 9 Getaneh Kebede, 11 Amanuel Gebremikael.
Last Team South Africa

Ethiopia: getting revenge
They faced South Africa last Saturday where they did not have a good display, especially defensively, so they will have to make the necessary adjustments if they want to get a good result to stay alive, as they have only three points in three games.
South Africa: unbeaten streak continues
South Africa leads Group G of the African qualifiers with seven points after two wins and a draw (with four goals scored and only one conceded); now that they are back home, they will try to make their home advantage count to try to move away from Ghana, the team they will meet on the next FIFA Date.
Kick-off time
The South Africa vs Ethiopia match will be played at the Soccer City Stadium, in Johannesburg, South Africa. The kick-off is scheduled at 12 pm ET.
