South Africa – down to ten men – hold hosts Brazil (& Neymar) to a nil nil draw at the Olympics. Great achievement by #RSA.

That moment when #Mobara tells #Neymar to go fly a kite. That’s the spirit.✊

Great effort by #Tower at the back there, solid as usual. And once again @IIKHUNE_32_16 proved why he is #RSA‘s NUMBER 1. #BRA 0 – 0 #RSA.

The senior national football team can learn a thing or two from these Under 23’s at the Olympics. 10 keeping Brazil to goalless draw.

#RSA have held on! A point in the bag after a goalless draw against #Neymar plus 10. #Rio2016

@IIKHUNE_32_16 performance in this game must be awkward for those fellow South Africans who couldn’t stop talking before for Rio 2016
