That was evident during the South Africa and Netherlands fixture when Kevin-Prince Boateng was spotted in the stands watching the fixture.

The former Ghanaian international, who represented the Black Stars at the 2010 and 2016 Men's World Cup tournaments, appeared to be enjoying the action as the last tournament's finalists took on the African champions.

Boateng wasn't the only men's international in attendance for the fixture. Former Australian international Tim Cahill was also spotted taking in the action.

The presence of the German-born player and the Australian also left some fans on social media wondering who they had come out to support.

Swart’s costly mistake helps Netherlands

Banyana Banyana’s FIFA Women’s World Cup journey has sadly come to an end in the knockout rounds.

The Women’s African Cup of Nations champions were eliminated from the tournament after suffering a 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands in the round of 16, Sports Brief reported.

The second goal will stand out for many, as it came from an embarrassing error by Banyana keeper, Kaylin Swart.
