Honestly, South Africa vs Mozambique matches always get way less hype than like South Africa vs Nigeria or Egypt. I've noticed people just assume it's one-sided or boring because South Africa has a bigger reputation in African football. But, if you actually watch these games, especially stuff like the COSAFA Cup, they can get pretty wild. Mozambique has been on the up lately, especially with a full squad, while South Africa sent their second-string team this time. That's like a recipe for surprises, right? I remember a match where nobody expected Mozambique to do anything but then they nearly snatched a win.

The real thing is, people sleep on this matchup 'cause it's not seen as a "classic rivalry," but honestly, the vibe gets heated, especially when it means qualifying for something bigger. I'd say it's totally underrated, and the drama is for real. If anything, the underdog thing makes it even more tense for me as a fan, 'cause you never know when an upset's coming. You should definitely give these games a shot if you want to see passion, even if they're not all over the sports news.
