By Ayanda Nyuswa

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos was vindicated for the changes he made as South Africa defeated Liberia 2-1 to book their ticket for  next years AFCON in Ivory Coast. The Belgian mentor made 5 changes to the starting team that played a disappointing 2-2 draw against the Liberian at Orlando Stadium last week.

The big calls were came with the benching of Themba Zwane and the 2 goal hero of the first match Lyle Foster, with the latter deemed unfit to start after not feeling well in the morning of the crucial match. Zakhele Lepasa and Mihlali Mayambela came in and scored the important goals for Bafana, that will see them return to Africa’s showpiece event for the first time since 2019.
