Who is your Man-of-the-Match ...? 

24 Mar 2019

The draw for the newly expanded 24-team tournament will take place on Friday, April 12.

24 Mar 2019

Bafana Bafana have qualified for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt.

24 Mar 2019

FULL-TIME: Libya 1-2 Bafana Bafana

24 Mar 2019

90' Four minutes of additional time added on ...

24 Mar 2019

88' CHANCE! Tau finds space in the penalty area and just fires it wide. That could have been his hat-trick!

24 Mar 2019

86' Kekana is now trying to launch a few of his landmark long-range efforts. One came very close and the keeper just cleared it off the line.

24 Mar 2019

83' Libya secure a corner after a good attack down the right. Once again Keet is there to clear the set-piece.

24 Mar 2019

79' So far there has been a total of 44 goals scored in Group E, so far ...

24 Mar 2019

77' CHANGE: Stuart Baxter takes of Zwane and introduces Kekana from the bench.

24 Mar 2019

77' SAVE! That man Keet is definitely the man of the match as he once again palms away a sensational strike that was goal-bound.

24 Mar 2019

It's that man again, Percy Tau, who whips in a strike from a difficult angle to give South Africa the lead again ...

24 Mar 2019

69' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!

24 Mar 2019

67' Its more hostile in the stadium now ... However, South Africa will still qualify if the score remains like this.

24 Mar 2019

65' GOAL! Penalty scored!

24 Mar 2019

63' PENALTY! Keet leaps to save the ball in the penalty area and collects it with ease. His leg clips a player and the reaction of the player sees the referee point to the penalty spot.

A ridiculous call if you ask me ...

24 Mar 2019

60' The execution of the set-piece is poor and Bafana Bafana launches a counter-attack.

24 Mar 2019

57' Hlanti is guilty of a foul on the edge of the box and Libya secure a dangerous free-kick.

24 Mar 2019

52' SAVE! Darren Keet once again comes to the rescue for Bafana Bafana. What a save. 

24 Mar 2019

What a goal. Percy Tau pulls the trigger from outside the box and the 'keeper certainly had no chance in saving that. 

Get in lad!!!

24 Mar 2019

49' GOAAAAAALLLLLLL

24 Mar 2019

45' Second-half is underway ...

24 Mar 2019

HALF-TIME!

24 Mar 2019

46' CHANCE! A goal bounding strike from a Libyan player but Keet dispatches it and gloves a very difficult shot.

24 Mar 2019

45' One minute of additional time added on ...

24 Mar 2019

43' CHANCE! Bafana Bafana secure a corner after another deflection. The corner from Tau is good again and Mothiba just fails to wrap his feet around it.

24 Mar 2019

40' CHANCE! Much better from Bafana Bafana. It came from deep and Tau turns in the box and offloads it to Mothiba, who's shot is deflected for a corner.

24 Mar 2019

37' This certainly doesn't feel like a football match despite the intensity that Libya are playing. 

24 Mar 2019

36' YELLOW! Tau is taken down by Elhouni in yet another tactical challenge. This time the Libyan is booked.

24 Mar 2019

32' YELLOW! Tau is taken down by Elhouni in yet another tactical challenge. This time the Libyan is booked.

24 Mar 2019

29' South Africa seeing more of the ball but failing to turn that into goal opportunities. 

24 Mar 2019

27' Libya launch a counter-attack and Keet is to the rescue again. This time he is fouled and Libya gets away with no booking.

24 Mar 2019

26' Zwane launches an attack for Bafana Bafana. Mothiba then tries to find Tau, but the keeper gets there first. Great work!

24 Mar 2019

25' Baxter needs to change something. Revert back to the normal back four could definitely work. 

24 Mar 2019

23' SAVE! A great save by Keet after the Bafana Bafana defenders fail to clear a dangerous corner at first.

24 Mar 2019

21' Bafana Bafana on the attack again and Mothiba sends a nice looking pass towards Tau, who is near the penalty area, however, he is dispossessed.

24 Mar 2019

20' TWENTY MINUTES GONE:

SCORELINE: Libya 0-0 Bafana Bafana

24 Mar 2019

18' CHANCE! Hlanti sends a dangerous looking cross into the penalty area, but it just eludes Zwane.

24 Mar 2019

16' AGAIN! Hlatshwayo is the saviour as he clears a dangerous ball sent in by the home side.

24 Mar 2019

14' Bafana Bafana doing well enough under the circumstance. Libya heading to the 20th minute with a lot of ball at their feet. 

24 Mar 2019

11' Tau ensures that Bafana Bafana earns the first corner of the game off a deflection. He sends the set-piece into the penalty area and it is headed away by the Libyan defence.

24 Mar 2019

8' Libya showing great intensity in the match so far and dictating the opening stages. The crowd backing them at this sold-out arena.

24 Mar 2019

5' The first booking of the game goes to Maela. 

24 Mar 2019

3' Bafana Bafana already on the backfoot as Hlatshwayo had to leap forward to block a dangerous shot released by a Libyan striker.
