The home team South Africa got a key win against Luxembourg and the hope for the Championship title still remains. But for that to come true Israel must lose to Greece or Turkey.

Luxembourg tied the game once again when Benny Welter scored at 41:22. Andre Marais made it 3-2 for South Africa and 4-2 by Burton Matthews came just 38 seconds later.
