Dec 22 (Reuters) - Lyle Foster scored a ‌superb winner from outside the box as South Africa defeated Angola 2-1 in Africa ‌Cup of Nations Group B in Marrakech on Monday, the first time they have ‌won their opening match at the continental finals in 21 years.

South Africa also had a goal disallowed and struck the crossbar, just about deserving the nervy victory as Angola also had chances and will be disappointed not to have got something ‍from the game.
