Neymar of Brazil is tackled by Abbubaker Mobara (L) of South Africa during the Rio opening match

FOLLOWING their gallant showing in the goalless draw against Brazil in the first match of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, South Africa’s focus has shifted to Denmark.

The two sides square up at Mané Garrincha Stadium on Sunday.

Kickoff is 19h00 South Africa time.

On Wednesday, a ten-man South African team held the Brazilians to a stalemate.

The visitors were dealt a heavy blow as they had to play with a man short from the 58th minute after midfielder Mothobi Mvala got his marching orders – this was after he received his second yellow card in a space of few minutes.

The combination of goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, Erick Mathoho, Rivaldo Coetzee, Abbubaker Mobara and Deolin Mekoa stood firm at the back.
