Bafana’s Afcon campaign is rattled by an impressive Ghana

Two superb goals in each half by the hosts settled the game at a packed South Coast Stadium to mark a rather terrible start for new Bafana Bafana head coach Molefi Ntseki, who will now be desperate for a win against Sudan in Soweto on Sunday.

Things went awry for Bafana the moment they lost midfielder Bongani Zungu to injury just before the hour mark. The void was apparent as Ghana exploited the centre of the park and that’s where Spain-based midfielder Thomas Partey took his chance with a low shot that took a wicked deflection to beat Ronwen Williams in Bafana goal.

South Africa had their moments in the opening stages when Bradley Grobler came close with a snap shot from close range following a free-kick in a game where Bafana were easily bullied by the Black Star when it came to territorial control. At the heart of Ghana’s impressive build-ups were the Ayew brothers – captain Andre and Jordan – who were at their best, inspiring the attacks of their side.
