South Africa Form
Bafana Bafana have reached the next AFCON. With six points from four matches, they can no longer be caught by the third-placed team.
Qualifying began with a last-gasp equaliser to rescue a 2-2 home draw vs Uganda. Another 95th minute goal sealed a 3-2 win at South Sudan.
After smashing Congo 5-0 at home, they had a tougher time in the away leg. A 1-1 draw was a steady result in the end.
