# Soccer: Bafana Bafana have made World Cup history by reaching the last 32 following a 1-0 victory against South Korea in Monterrey, Mexico. Thapelo Maseko’s 63rd-minute goal was enough to ensure South Africa finished second in Group A behind co-hosts Mexico and qualify automatically for the knockout stages. This was a must-win game for South Africa, having lost their opening game to Mexico 2-0 and drawn 1-1 with the Czech Republic. Bafana Bafana had failed to advance from the group stage in 1998, 2002 and as host in 2010.
