Masilela received the first yellow card right on half-time while gifting Brazil a free kick from 30 yards out. Santos fired it straight into a Bafana defender and it was half-time. Resilience, ambition and total commitment from an exciting Bafana team leaving the Brazilians somewhat bemused as they headed for the change rooms. Tshabalala and Pienaar have been outstanding. Brazil came out looking to establish control early in the second half earning a corner in the first minute.
The ball was headed wide but the message was clear. Within 2 minutes Robinho let fly from distance — over the bar. Then it was a Kaka run down the left which Bafana squeezed out for another corner. Less than 5 minutes and Brazil were taking back control of the midfield they had surrendered in the first half.
On 51 minutes a cross from the right is headed wide by Kaka. On 57 minutes a Modise shot takes a wicked deflection, which Cesar scrambles for a corner. This was the first of two corners in two minutes as Gaxa, Modise and Tshabalala are taking the game back to Brazil.
On 62 minutes, first Fabiano and then Robinho unleash efforts in the box without success. Bafana are still determined to take the game to Brazil and earn a corner on 66 minutes. The ball is curled over the goalmouth and out on the full. Bafana need to be more clinical. It continues to swing from end to end with Fabiano unleashing a shot down the right from 25 yards out which sails way over the bar on 68 minutes.
Bafana continue to ask questions with a Tshabalala swinging in a cross from the right which just eludes the head of Parker, 73 minutes and no substitutes as yet.
Both sides are trying to engineer a goal from distance which is a credit to both defences as shots go flying over the bar. Mokoena went on to touch on Happy Jele's modesty as he revealed that the star stopped by his office but didn't mention that he had just won the chairman's award.
This is his character as he hardly brags about any of his achievements. The main point of this story was to announce that Walter Mokoena and Happy Jele became business partners and this is surely a good move for both of them more especially the skipper as retirement age is fast approaching.
It must be amazing for Walter Mokoena to see that the young boy he gave the opportunity to back in the day turned out to be an iconic players. Happy Jele is one of the most disciplined, passionate and loyal players of our generation and he is really one of an extinct breed of footballers. Walter also has a daughter with Pearl Thusi. His broadcasting career started in Heart FM in While working at Heart FM, he was also working as a City Press newspaper soccer correspondent freelancer.
In August , he joined Kaya FM as a sports anchor. This prime-time sports show on Saturday afternoons propelled his career even further. He was also involved in live coverage of the Athens Olympics.
