Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has praised Oswin Appollis and Relebohile Mofokeng after an emphatic 5-0 victory over Eritrea, to register their second win in as many matches in their second 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Al Salaam stadium in Cairo, Egypt, last night.
Relebohile Mofokeng finally opened his Bafana Bafana account in style, scoring twice as South Africa thrashed Eritrea 5-0 in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Cairo.
Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane has identified Egyptian-based Eritrean striker Ali Suleiman as the player to watch out for when the two teams lock horns at the Al Salam stadium in Cairo later today, in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
Following the announcement of his first Bafana Bafana squad on Thursday, coach Pitso Mosimane pointed out that selection will become increasingly difficult as more players put themselves on his radar.
With the Confederation of African Football (CAF) yet to release the dates for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027 qualifiers, SABC Sport has learnt that Eritrea are taking their Group D game against Bafana Bafana to Egypt in September.
Eritrea have withdrawn from their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
