Former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana defender Lucky Lekgwathi says the national soccer team players should continue with the way they have been playing when they meet Zimbabwe on Monday in their last AFCON group stage match.
Lekgwathi says Bafana should not be disheartened after their narrow one-nil loss to Egypt in Morocco on Boxing Day.
“They played very well, they were unlucky not to win, obviously losing a penalty. Yeah, people can argue and say the last handball for Egypt, for me, it was a penalty. You understand, sometimes as a referee, you must balance the game; you give them the penalty, give us the penalty, but overall, I think they played very well.”
“I think it gave them confidence to go through our next game against Zimbabwe, where you know our neighbours, whenever they play against South Africa, they make sure they don’t want to lose against South Africa.”

Meanwhile, Sudan‘s dreams of reaching the knockout stages at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco are also still alive.
They beat Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in a Group E clash to register their first victory of the tournament in Casablanca.
Following their 3-0 loss to Algeria in the first match, the Sudanese now have three points after two matches.
Equatorial Guinea have lost their two opening matches.
