Bafana well on track to Qatar 2022
With their 1-0 win over Ethiopia on Tuesday night, South Africa not only completed the double over the east Africa rivals, but Bafana reduced the contest in Group G to just two, with Ghana also still in it.Following Tuesday’s match day of Africa World Cup qualifiers, it means the Ethiopians and the Warriors have been eliminated as only the winners across the 10 groups will advance to the third and final round.
Similarly, Bafana had their own opportunities to extend the scoreline, but they rushed into those chances. But Burundian referee Georges Gatogato also made some questionable decisions, including when he denied the home side what looked a clear penalty when Bongokuhle Hlongwane was tripped inside the box in the late quarter of the second half.But it is the unpredictability of Bafana coach Hugo Broos that came to the fore again last night.
The hosts applied early pressure and were duly rewarded when Letsoalo’s header from a corner kick was deflected into the net by the visitors’ captain Getaneh Kebede.
