Football fans from both countries took to social media to share their thoughts on the Group C clash
South Africa failed to defeat a weakened Ghana side in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday evening.
Ghana were without several key players such as Richard Ofori, John Boye, Thomas Partey, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew.
However, the Black Stars showed no fear at the iconic FNB Stadium in Johannesburg as they took the lead through Mohammed Kudus’ 49th-minute goal.
Percy Tau levelled matters two minutes later as the Brighton Hove and Albion striker spared Bafana’s blushes as the two teams draw 1-1.
The draw saw South Africa remain second on the group standings – level on points with Ghana, who qualified for the finals.
Bafana need a point to qualify for next year’s tournament and their final Group C game is against Sudan on Sunday, while Ghana will host Sao Tome and Principe on the same day.
Football fans from South Africa and Ghana took to social media to share their thoughts on the clash between the two former African champions.

We always need to pull out calculators when Bafana Bafana needs to qualify for anything.

Bafana bafana would’ve played a draw against San Marino

The sooner Bafana Bafana coach molefi Ntseki is relieved of the hot seat the better. The man proved once again he’s out of touch with local talent. @ghanafaofficial might as well start celebrating world cup qualification as well. pic.twitter.com/F1WQDZ5EdU

Bafana Bafana draw AGAINST disabled Ghana. Ntseki isn’t a couch!!

Whoever that advised Ghana coach CK Akonnor to wait and only substitute Kwame Opoku at halftime for Osman is very wise
What CK wanted to do would’ve eclipsed Ghana’s qualification this evening. The narrative by now would’ve been on that substitution rather than the qualification pic.twitter.com/4r4oxtMG4q

No matter what you have to say about the head coach of the 🇬🇭 Black Stars, remember that the first task was to qualify the team to #AFCON2021Q & that’s what he has done! 👌
Congratulations, @akonnor_ck! 👏#TotalAFCONQ2021 pic.twitter.com/ueVPrxytze

Bafana bafana lost this game due to bad coaching and a coach that fails to make the right changes to his tactics and his team when required ntseki out is all I’ll say

Most important part of the discussion is that @akonnor_ck joins the list of great men to Qualify Ghana to the AFCON, and am happy that a Local coach gets this on his CV.

Honestly…
Bafana Bafana Coach, Molefi Ntseki, has to hold his hands up today
The approach overall to Ghana was wrong
He has to go for it vs Sudan#AFCON2021Q #AFCON #BafanaBafana Percy Tau Jali Morena Xulu Coetzee Ben Motshwari pic.twitter.com/U2SLv8i6dL

I am tired of pretending. Does anyone know what Molefi Ntseki done in the past to deserve to be Bafana Bafana coach today. #AFCON2021Q

Truth be told I will never ever have respect for the Bafana Bafana coach Ntseki for playing Riva the whole 90 mins pic.twitter.com/9KBJn5gnyN

And who told CK Akonnor that Kwame Poku is a winger?? Also upon all those scoutings and training he had with him did he see the boy to be a winger or it was a deliberate attempt ? Cus I don’t get it.
— williebellins (@GYMWILLS) March 25, 2021
Ntseki needs to drop zwane into the 10 position to occupy the space between attack and midfield and to defend a lot better….bafana bafana
— YouTube: SportstalkwithKefuwe (@KefuweMahlangu2) March 25, 2021
If you are home-based player and you are good, exceptionally good you will play the Black Stars
The coach CK Akonnor has been making this point since he was appointed
