Cameroon 2-2 South Africa: Kekana scores goal of the year contender

Hlompho Kekana amazingly scored from his own half but South Africa remain without an AFCON qualification win after a 2-2 draw in Cameroon.

South Africa midfielder Hlompho Kekana scored a remarkable goal from inside his own half before Cameroon battled back to earn a 2-2 draw in Limbe and further damage its visitors' Africa Cup of Nations qualifying hopes.

Shakes Mashaba's side headed to Limbe without a win in its opening two Group M matches and an opener from Tokelo Rantie was canceled out by Cameroon forward Sebastien Siani on the stroke of halftime.

But Mamelodi Sundowns player Kekana then took center stage with a sensational 49th-minute strike that is set to define his career.
