The 1-0 outcome of the crucial qualifier saw Ghana grab the top spot of the Group on goals scored, though, same 13 points with South Africa as well as qualify for Africa's play-offs of the tournament.

South Africa Football Association (Safa) President Danny Jordaan, claims, there was a clear pattern of "match fixing and bribery" during the World Cup 2022 qualifying match between South Africa and Ghana.

Safa lodged a complaint with Fifa, and the world football governing body has submitted the complaint to it's disciplinary committee for consideration.

According to bbcsport:

South Africa's protest included allegations of "match fixing, match manipulation including corruption and bribery", which Jordaan claimed may be linked to gambling at a press conference on Wednesday.

"How is it that there's a betting spike just before a major decision is taken and therefore people bet? They knew when to bet," he said.

The Ghana Football Association has been asked for its observations on the matter after dismissing the match fixing allegations.
