Ghana got the job done albeit not impressive and are through to the final round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers at the expense of South Africa.
Qatar-based forward Andre Ayew on his 100th appearance scored the only goal in the 1-0 win at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The penalty decision has been described as 'robbery' by South Africa who are preparing to petition CAF and FIFA.
Meanwhile, Ghana would know their play-offs opponents next month.
