The South Africans needed a win to reach the knockout stage and
appeared determined to get it from the start of the Group F match,
piling pressure on the Honduran defense and goalkeeper Francisco
Reyes.
Jali scored with a powerful shot in the 31st minute and Khumalo
added the second in the 46th, striking a powerful left-footed shot
past Reyes.
Hungary beat the United Arab Emirates 2-0 in Group F's other game and also
progressed into the last 16.
Striker Krisztian Nemeth put Hungary ahead after just 19
minutes, and Vladimir Koman made it 2-0 four minutes later with a
curling shot into the top corner.
After losing their opening match to Honduras, Hungary have had
convincing wins against South Africa and now the UAE to top Group F
with six points.
