Bafana Bafana advance to last 16

South Africa have advanced into the knock-out rounds of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after they held Group E rivals Tunisia to a 0-0 draw at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in Korhogo last night.

The result sees Bafana Bafana finish second on the log behind Mali, with Namibia in third and the Carthage of Eagles fourth.

All but the North Africans will be involved in the Round of 16, which will get underway this coming weekend.

The Carthage Eagles had a great chance to finally break the deadlock in the 89th minute when Sayfallah Ltaief crossed from the right to find Jouini, but the substitute striker was unable to head on target. 

The match closed at 0-0, with South Africa celebrating progression, while Tunisia were eliminated from an Afcon in the group stage for the first time since 2013 — SuperSport.
