Bafana Bafana have qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after Congo Brazzaville's shocking 3-2 loss against South Sudan on Thursday.
The Red Devils needed to win their remaining games in Group K and hope either South Africa or Rwanda lose their remaining games for them to get their ticket.
Prior to matchday five, Uganda had managed to collect 10 points, two more than Bafana Bafana while Congo had four with the Bright Stars of South Sudan having none. South Sudan were determined to get their first win and they surely did it in style at the Juba Stadium.
The result was massive for Hugo Broos who has now become the first coach to take Bafana to back-to-back Afcon competitions. Have a look at what the fans said.
Can Broos field Pirates players on Friday?
Where are those who called him a plumber? The first coach to omit Chiefs players and tell them to improve – Mohau Mofokeng
If Broos can win Afcon, he will become the best coach Bafana Bafana has ever had – Litho Shili
I remember when South Africa fans were lambasting Hugo for telling Safa about how it handled things unprofessionally. The fans used to say Madala must go, he is a crybaby. Now people have started showing great love and enthusiasm for our team – Thabo Tbo-touch Sonakile
Can Broos please field Pirates and other team players? Mamelodi Sundowns are playing Carling Knockout final please – Seoman'e Zungu Bizza
Start the bench players tomorrow so we can boost their confidence and game time. We need a solid squad to qualify for the World Cup in 2026 – Wongalethu UWongalethu Echelon
Broos is lucky he found Sundowns on fire
Well done Hugo Broos, we don't use calculators anymore – Aphiwe Nashwa
On Friday, Broos must not play around, we need a solid team and start winning away games and top that group, then maybe on Tuesday he can change the squad to give other players a chance – Pi Le La
He's lucky he found Sundowns on fire and they make it easier for him to succeed at Bafana Bafana – Sbusiso Mkhize
Respect to what the coach brought to the team he has brought good beliefs into the team to gain that positivity it was lacking – Navo Reddy
Credit to Safa as well for choosing to play most friendly games with African national teams unlike before when nations like Brazil, Spain, and others used to beat us all the time and kill our confidence – Siyabonga Dube
