The Bafana Bafana of South Africa began their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted in the USA, Mexico, and Canada on a wonderful note on Saturday, after a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Genot Rohr’s Benin Republic team in Durban.
Despite the Cheetahs of Benin Republic posing a threat and Coach Gernot Rohr relying on his past games against the Bayana Bayana, two goals in the first half proved sufficient for Hugo Broos’ team to ascend to the top of the Group C standings.
It was Al Ahly’s striker, Percy Tau, who put the hosts in front in the second minute.
