Bafana Bafana World Cup Qualifiers
South Africa are close to qualfying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
On September 5, they played Lesotho away at the Free State Stadium and managed to secure massive 3-0 win. However, wins for Benin and Nigeria against Zimbabwe and Rwanda respectively, meant there was no room for Broos' men to relax.
A massive test was on Tuesday, September 9 against Nigeria in Bloemfontein as well. The West African nation needed maximum points to have a better chance of qualifying.
However, the game ended 1-1 with William Troost-Ekong scoring an own goal in favour of Bafana Bafana while Calvin Bassey responded for the Super Eagles.
South Africa are on 17 points now, three more than Benin; Nigeria and Rwanda are on 11 points each.
The next game for Mzansi will be on October 8 against Zimbabwe before hosting Rwanda to complete Group C games.
