As a result, FIFA has awarded the match to Lesotho with a 3–0 scoreline, overturning the original result.
In addition to the forfeiture, SAFA has been ordered to pay a fine of CHF 10,000, while Teboho Mokoena has received an official warning from the world football governing body.
According to FIFA, the parties involved have been notified of the decision and have ten days to request a motivated decision, which, if requested, will be published on legal.fifa.com.
The ruling, however, remains subject to appeal before the FIFA Appeal Committee, in line with the relevant provisions of the Disciplinary Code.
