South Africa will face Ghana in the last four of Wafcon 2024 after beating Senegal 4-1 on penalties following a goalless quarter-final in Oudja.
Goalkeeper Andile Dlamini was the star of an otherwise dull game, producing two saves in a 4-1 shootout win as holders South Africa saw off Senegal on penalties to reach the semi-finals of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) in Morocco.
The game had finished goalless after extra time at the Honneur Stadium in Oudja.
Dlamini guessed the right way to deny the tournament's joint top scorer Nguenar Ndiaye and Meta Kande from the spot while the defending champions converted all of their spot-kicks.
Fittingly for Banyana Banyana, it was defender Bambanani Mbane, arguably their best player so far in Morocco, who struck the winning penalty.
The result means that South Africa face Nigeria, who thrashed Zambia 5-0 on Friday, in Tuesday's first semi-final in Casablanca (16:00 GMT).
The winners will face either the hosts or Ghana, who beat Algeria on penalties earlier on Saturday to reach the last four.
