Despite a great performance by Ronwen Williams for Bafana Bafana in the Afcon, he will certainly be haunted by a goalkeeping error that gifted Nigeria the goal that saw Bafana crash out of the tournament.

The in-form SuperSport United who many times kept Bafana in the game in the game against Egypt, failed to punch away a corner kick which subsequently fell in the way of William Troost-Ekong’s way.

But Bongani Zungu’s looping header brought South Africa level on 70 minutes, the goal awarded with the aid of VAR – introduced for the first time at the tournament from the quarter-final stage onwards — after it was initially ruled out for offside. Stuart Baxter stuck with the same side that shocked hosts Egypt in the last round, as match-winner Thembinkosi Lorch retained his place despite Themba Zwane’s return from suspension.

Alex Iwobi skipped past a couple of defenders down the left before pulling back for Chukwueze, who swept into the corner as the ball trickled back his way after a first shot was blocked.

He was professionally fouled by Igalo

Tell me one Bafana player who has consistency,we were supposed to sail through,as for Tshwane,he is childish that boy,Kekana was going to do much better but I said it Bafana doesn’t win Bcos they know anything,even Egypt Ne e Lahlile!

Here we go again...why don’t we just accept we were just not good enough. We always knew that anyway.

Nop Baxter will be hunted for being a coward coach he always teach his players to focus too much in defending instead of attacking
