South Africa beat Benin 2-0 to lead African 2026 World Cup qualifying group by five points.

But advantage could be reduced for fielding an ineligible player last week .

Teboho Mokoena should not have played as he had accumulated two yellow cards, triggering an automatic one-match ban.

Lesotho Football Association secretary-general Mokhosi Mohapi says his organisation has "sent a formal inquiry to FIFA and CAF".
