Fifa have confirmed that South Africa and Senegal will have to replay their 2018 World Cup qualifier.
Bafana Bafana beat Senegal 2-1 in their Group D match on November 12, 2016, but the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) reported referee Joseph Lamptey to CAF and FIFA over the decisions he made in the match.
Subsequently, Lamptey was issued with a three-month CAF suspension, but has since been banned for life from all FIFA competitions for 'match manipulation'.
FIFA released a statement confirming that Lamptey's involved in corrupt activities meant the match will have to be replayed.
"The Bureau for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers ordered a replay of the qualification match between South Africa and Senegal held on November, 12 2016," the statement read.
"This decision follows the confirmation of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to uphold the lifetime ban of match referee, Jospeh Lamptey, for match manipulation, the ruling imposed by the FIFA Disciplinary and Appeal Committees.
"The match will be replayed within the November 2017 international window, with the exact date to be confirmed in due course.
"As stated in the FIFA World Cup regulations, this decision shall come into effect immediately but shall be subject to confirmation by the Organising Committee for FIFA Competitions at its next meeting, scheduled for September 14."
With the result set aside, South Africa are firmly entrenched at the bottom of Group D on one point, while Senegal have five, one behind Cape Verde and Burkina Faso, albeit having played one match less.
