Teji Savanier was the last-gasp match winner as France staged a remarkable comeback to beat South Africa 4-3 in the Olympic football group stages. After a goalless first half, Kobamelo Kodisang's goal put South Africa in front in the 53rd minute. Evidence Makgopa put South Africa back in front but Gignac again equalised with 12 minutes remaining. Teboho Mokoena then put South Africa ahead for a third time in the 81st minute before Gignac converted from the penalty spot in the 86th to set the stage for Montpellier midfielder Savanier's late blast. Finally, Spain winger Mikel Oyarzabal ended his country's 21-year wait for an Olympic goal in a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Australia in Group C.
