South Africa disappointed again at the African Nations Cup with a 0-0 draw against Ghana.

Manchester United winger Quinton Fortune missed a penalty for South Africa in the third consecutive goalless draw at Amary Daou Stadium in Group B.

Unless goals start to go in soon the placings cold be decided by the drawing of lots.

But the game started brightly when defender Aaron Mokoena headed in on two minutes only to see Tunisian referee Mourad Daami rule the goal out even though it looked a valid effort.

In the 35th minute came the best chance of the game which Fortune saw saved when his weak shot was parried by goalkeeper Sammy Adjei after defender John Mensah had handled the ball in the penalty area.
