South Africa Football Association CEO, Tebogo Motlanthe said after the game they believed the match was fixed and they are gathering information to prove their case.

"We believe Saturday’s match was fixed and we are collecting information to prove our case. We are well informed that Ghana knew that they were going to get a penalty, it was a question of when, and this confirms our suspicions," he is quoted as saying by GHANASoccernet.

Referee Ndiaye Maguette awarded Ghana a 33rd minute penalty, which was converted by Andre Ayew, handing the Black Stars victory and progress to the next stage of the qualifiers.

Ghana will be awaiting their opponents for the play-offs in next month's draw despite FIFA's quest to review the game.
