Bafana Bafana's chances of qualifying for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier are hanging by a thread after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Liberia at Orlando Stadium on Friday.
South Africa looked comfortable with a brace from Lyle Foster but they allowed Liberia to pull one back through Tonia Tisdell and an equaliser from Mohammed Sangare in the closing stages to earn a vital away point that has left South Africa's chances of qualifying in serious danger.
Bafana failed to get the job done at home and now they have the tough job of doing it under tremendous pressure and hostile conditions in Monrovia to have any chance of qualifying for the tournament. South Africa took the lead after eleven minutes when Foster converted from the penalty spot after Percy Tau was brought down in the box by clumsy Liberia goalkeeper Tommy Songo.For the opener, Ethiopian referee Bamlak Tessema Weyesa did not hesitate to point to the spot after Songo hacked Foster, who received a clever pass from Teboho Mokoena, in the box.
