World football governing body Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) has finally deducted three points from Bafana Bafana.
This came after South Africa fielded Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho who was on a yellow card suspension.
The FIFA disciplinary committee awarded the game to Lesotho on a 3 nil scoreline.
Bafana Bafana have now dropped a place behind Benin in Group C.
The world football governing body has also fined South Africa Football Association $12.500.
South Africa has at least 10 days to appeal.
