Winner in the opening match against Mozambique (3-1), South Africa will cross on behalf of their second outing Mali who dominated Nigeria Saturday (2-1).

This is a meeting of supremacy in Group A of the African Nations Championship, held in South Africa in favor of players who play on the African continent.

For Bafana Bafana coach, Gordon Igesund, they should not fear Eagles of Mali “Frankly, I ‘m quiet. I have no pressure regarding the Malians. We will play our game and see what will happen. It is true that they have played against Nigeria, but we have our own game, based on two passes and I am confident to have a positive outcome,” suggested the coach of the host country.

The winner of this opposition will be automatically qualified for the quarterfinals. The meeting promises to be not only difficult but also interesting.
