77Senegal and South Africa face a rematch in World Cup qualifying after the ref in their original game was found guilty of corruption. South Africa said Tuesday they accepted a FIFA order to replay a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Senegal that was manipulated by a Ghanaian referee. FIFA gave Lamptey a life ban for match manipulation and his appeal to international sport judicial body CAS was rejected. The replay order means South Africa must play Senegal home and away during the November 6-14 international window. Burkina Faso and Cape Verde have six points from four matches and Senegal five and South Africa one from three with the group winners qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
