V&A Waterfront watch party.
Last week, many South Africans were left staring at their screens, wondering if Bafana Bafana had accidentally left their confidence back at OR Tambo. The 2-0 opening World Cup defeat to Mexico was a tough watch, and social media wasted no time sharing its frustration.
But football has a funny way of changing the mood in a matter of days.
Bafana followed up that disappointment with a crucial 1-1 draw against Czechia, thanks to a late penalty from Teboho Mokoena that rescued a point and kept South Africa's World Cup hopes alive.
While it wasn't a win, it felt like a reminder that this team still has some fight left in it.
