eKayzone Celebrate with Bafana Bafana: Quarter-Finals Achievement!
Dear Soccer Enthusiasts,
Morocco vs. South Africa highlight: Makgopa and Mokoena score for Bafana Bafana, Hakimi miss penalty while Amrabat see red
We are thrilled to share the exciting news that our beloved Bafana Bafana, the Male South African Soccer Team, has reached the quarter-finals of the prestigious African Cup of Nations 2024 in Ivory Coast! This remarkable achievement is a testament to their dedication, skill, and unwavering spirit on the field.
South Africa stunned World Cup semi-finalists Morocco 1-0 to make it to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations. Orlando Pirates striker Evidence Makgopa gave South Africa's Coach Hugo Broos' a 57th-minute lead, and Teboho Mokoena secured a famous victory in the fifth minute of added-time in San Pedro. They will now face Cabo Verde in a quarter-final of AFCON underdogs.
With each match, our national team has showcased their immense talent and determination. They have overcome formidable opponents, capturing the hearts of soccer fans across the nation. It's a moment of pride for all South Africans as we witness our team's progress in this esteemed tournament.
South Africa produced a big upset to knock 10-man Morocco out of the Africa Cup of Nations at the Round of 16 stage, beating the continent’s top-ranked nation 2-0 in a smash-and-grab performance in San Pedro.
Excellent second-half goals from Evidence Makgopa and Teboho Mokoena earned Bafana Bafana a famous victory against a Moroccan side who saw Achraf Hakimi miss a late penalty and finished with ten men after Sofyan Amrabat was sent
As we unite in celebration, let us take a moment to recognize and applaud each member of the team for their exceptional performances. Their hard work and commitment have brought us this far.
We encourage you to show your support for Bafana Bafana as they prepare for their upcoming quarter-final match. Join us in cheering them on as they continue to make history on the soccer field.
In light of this incredible achievement, we would also like to extend our gratitude to every fan who has stood by our team throughout this journey. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in driving them forward. Let's continue to rally behind them with unwavering enthusiasm and pride!
It looked like the Atlas Lions had been handed a reprieve when an unintentional but goal-saving handball by Mothobi Mvala saw Morocco awarded a penalty and a chance to level with just six minutes left on the clock.
But Hakimi hit the bar from the spot, and things went from bad to worse for Morocco when Amrabat was adjudged to have fouled Mokoena as last man and was shown a second yellow, which was subsequently upgraded to a straight red after a VAR review.
Mokoena sealed the win for South Africa by whipping home a brilliant shot from the free-kick he had just won, sparking jubilant scenes in the Bafana Bafana squad
They will now face Cabo Verde in a quarter-final of AFCON underdogs, while Morocco will rue a huge missed opportunity to win the continent’s biggest prize
Stay tuned for updates on match schedules and viewing options so you can be a part of this thrilling journey alongside fellow supporters.
Once again, congratulations to Bafana Bafana for reaching the quarter-finals! Let's come together as a nation and show our unyielding support as they strive towards further success in this tournament.
Mokoena was the Player of the Match
Go, Bafana Bafana!
