Goals in each half and numerous missed opportunities saw Bafana Bafana and Mozambique share the spoils in their opening Group A clash in the Cosafa Cup at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Wednesday night.
The home side had two chances to snatch it at the end as Sinoxolo Kwayiba and Kenau Cupido shot wide in the final moments after Rushwin Dortleys first-half opener was cancelled out by Mozambican substitute Chamito Alfandega.
Bafana were rampant in the opening exchanges of the first half as Thabang Sibanyoni and Asanele Velebayi came close to opening the scoring for the home side.
They continued to pin the Mozambicans back as their wide players Devin Titus and Velebayi tormented the visitors defenders and kept goalie Acacio Muendane on his toes.
The men in green and gold nearly got punished from their own corner when a misplaced pass by Thabang Matuludi saw midfielder Dario Melo latch onto the loose ball before unleashing a long range effort, forcing Bafana keeper Mondli Mpoto into his first save of the night.
