Having qualified for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), Bafana Bafana will now look to secure the top spot in Group K when they face South Sudan.
Hugo Broos’ men defeated Uganda 2-0 in Kampala on Friday to leapfrog The Cranes. Goals by Thapelo Morena and Patrick Maswanganyi gave Bafana their third win of the Afcon qualifiers with one match to spare.
When will Bafana play their last qualifier match against South Sudan?
South Africa will host South Sudan at the Cape Town Stadium on Tuesday (19 November) evening. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00.
Having qualified for his second successive Afcon, Broos said he was looking forward to their final qualifier match.
“What I heard is that there will be a crowd in the stadium, and we will try to give something nice to our supporters next Tuesday by winning against South Sudan,” the Bafana coach told the media.
“Let’s say we win next Tuesday – if I’m correct, we have eleven points now, and fourteen will be alright. There were some games we could have won, especially at home against Uganda.
“So we have the maximum points, and it was very important for us to win here today and certainly to be first in the group,” he added as per GOAL.
Broos said his side played well in the qualifiers to qualifier with
“Nobody can tell us now that we are lucky, like some were saying after Congo (Brazzaville)’s defeat yesterday, claiming South Africa is lucky.
“I think we proved today that we don’t need luck,” he said.
