South Africa beat Senegal 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier last November, except for they didn't.
The match will have to be replayed because the referee from November, Ghanaian Joseph Odartei Lamptey, has been found guilty of match-fixing and banned for life.
Was there a dodgy penalty in this match that the referee might have called for match-fixing purposes? Reader, there was, though FIFA hasn't released the exact details behind Lamptey's ban.
If Senegal wins the replay plus both its remaining qualifiers it will finish on top of CAF Group D. South Africa's group point total has been reduced from four to one.
The replay will take place sometime in November, according to FIFA.
