Ireland have now lost three games from three at the Tournament of Toulon. On Monday night, they let a one-goal lead slip against South Africa despite playing some decent attacking football.
Andy Reid struck in the first half, hitting the back of the net with a deflected effort from 10 yards.
However, a mistake by Manchester United centre-back John O'Shea allowed Ashraf Hendricks to equalise and midway through the second period Lesley Manyathela headed the African's winner.
Starting eleven: Murphy (Tranmere); S Byrne (West Ham), Goodwin (Celtic), O'Shea (Man Utd), Tierney (Man Utd); Butler (Sunderland), Miller (Celtic), Gamble (Reading), Keane (Preston); Barrett (Arsenal), Reid (Nottm Forest).
