The South African national team is back in contention to progress to the knockout stage of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon)
Bafana Bafana beat Namibia 1-0 at Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo on Friday night.
The winning goal came from a Bongani Zungu header where Namibia’s defenders left the South African player wide open to score from a corner.
The South African media were not impressed with this Bafana performance, criticising their stuttering build-up play, making heavy weather of the Namibians.
We also take a look at a number of Premier Soccer League (PSL) star player’s reaction to Bafana’s win.
Finally, from before the game there’s a video of the team’s arriving at the stadium, including South Africa singing.
YESSSSSSSSS boys 👏👏
Great win tonight @BafanaBafana !!! Keep it up and get ready for another big battle in the next game. 🇿🇦 #AFCON2019— Janine Van Wyk (@Janinevanwyk5) June 28, 2019
Really don’t understand the lack of subs.

Concerned Bafana Bafana still struggling to breakdown “easier” teams. South Africa were lucky with Bongani Zungu’s goal as Namibia defenders corner marking was awful. Baxter’s tactics tend to work best when already winning. Good news is there are no more easier teams ahead #Afcon

I sat here on this couch for all these minutes but I sure as hell can’t tell you what I just watched on this Blaupunkt. Sure, we won this thing 1-0, but I can’t tell you what just happened here. Maybe Stuart Baxter can explain it better cause me, I have no words… #AFCON2019

Long gone are the days of a striker able to get onto the end of passes and put the ball into the back of the net. I can only name three strikers who knew where the 🥅 ⚽️ were @bennimccarthy17 @shaunbart9 @markwilliams @BafanaBafana 1-0 Namibia FT @percymuzitau22 should be MOTM
