Kgatlana’s goal came in the 2nd minute of additional time to help the Bayana Bayana scale through into the round of 16 of the tournament.
The Italians were heartbroken at the final whistle as they only needed a draw to reach the last 16.
South Africa will lock horns with Netherlands in the knockouts on Sunday.
