FIFA said on Monday that its disciplinary committee had found SA guilty of playing midfielder Teboho Mokoena in a 2-0 home win over Lesotho in March when he should have sat out the qualifier after two cautions in previous Group C games.
Lesotho have been awarded the match 3-0 and SA stripped of the points. South Africa still top the standings but now only on goal difference from Benin. Both teams are on 14 points with two games left.
