South Africa see victory in second game against Namibia

South Africa rebounded in the Africa Cup of Nations with a convincing 4-0 victory over Namibia.

After a 2-0 loss to Mali in their opening match, Bafana Bafana secured their first win in the tournament.

The scoring started early for South Africa as Percy Tau converted a penalty, and Themba Zwane added two more goals, completing a brace. Thapelo Maseko contributed a fourth goal in the second half.

Namibia had a bright start, with Prins Tijueza testing the South African goalkeeper and an offside decision sparing Peter Shalulile’s missed attempt.

However, momentum shifted when South Africa was awarded a penalty through VAR review for a handball by Riaan Hanamub. Percy Tau successfully converted the penalty this time, putting South Africa in the lead.

Themba Zwane extended the lead with a well-applied finish after a delivery from Thapelo Morena. Zwane scored his second goal shortly before the end of the first half, virtually securing the win for South Africa.

Substitute Thapelo Maseko added the final goal in the 75th minute, breaking the offside trap and scoring a shot that proved too challenging for Namibia’s goalkeeper. The 4-0 victory marked a strong comeback for South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations.
