Noushad Thekkayil and BackpageHead-to-head and recent form
This will be the first time for Amajimbos and Japan to meet in any tournament.
On their way to the Round of 32, South Africa first defied being a player down to beat Bolivia 3-1 in their group opener.
They then drew 1-1 with hosts Qatar in their second game before losing 3-1 to Italy in their last group match.
Their opponents Japan first beat Morocco 2-0, then drew 0-0 with New Caledonia before setting up a date with Amajimbos by edging Portugal 2-1 with 10 players.
The fact that Japan were held to a goalless draw by New Caledonia who were walloped 16-0 by Morocco could give South Africa hope of victory.
