Photo: BackpagePix Image: Backpagepix South Africa's Bafana Bafana came good with a 2-1 win over Guinea in their CHAN Group C clash at the Nelson Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, Uganda, on Monday. After their hard-fought 1-1 draw against group favourites Algeria on Friday, Bafana managed a win in their second group clash by scoring a goal in each half. Bafana Bafana aimed to end Guinea's unbeaten record against South Africa, which had lasted through five matches since their first encounter in March 2001. The Elephants, as Guinea are nicknamed, have a record of two wins and three draws and had yet to concede a goal against South African opposition. The scoring jinx was finally broken, 24-years later, by captain Neo Maema with a ninth-minute goal after an innocuous upfield kick from deep inside the Bafana Bafana defence. Unmarked teammate Thabiso Kutumela latched on to the ball before feeding striker partner Maema, who let rip with a grasscutter from outside the penalty area, past an unsighted Guinea goalie Moussa Camara (1-0). Earlier, Bafana Bafana grabbed the initiative after they bossed the midfield. However, their feeds to the frontrunners were not effective, mainly because the forwards were not making runs into optimal positions. On other occasions, there was poor decision-making by midfielders. Strangely, the goal did not inject new life into Bafana. stead, Guinea stepped up their efforts and looked dangerous on the counter-attack. One of these transitions, just ahead of the half-time break, caught the South African defence napping when Moussa Camara scored after a fine feed from Mohamed Yôrôbô (1-1). After their opening score, Bafana Bafana never managed another shot on goal in the remaining first-half play. Their next shot on goal emerged nine minutes into the second half after a fine attacking sortie by Bafana Bafana's midfield, who found right-back Wayde Jooste overlapping wide on the right channel. Jooste's goalmouth cross was smartly met by Kutumela, who hammered the ball into the Guinea net (2-1). Since most of the South African players are not presently attached to clubs, they were running out of steam towards the end of the match. This was the cue for coach Molefi Ntseki to bring on fresh legs, with Tebogo Tlolane, Matlhari Makaringe and Kaketso Majadibodu joining the fray. Despite Guinea's relentless pressure in the dying stages, Bafana Bafana desperately held out for victory.

Simba hold firm to seal TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup final spot
Published: Sunday, 27 April 2025 Simba SC battled to a goalless draw against Stellenbosch FC at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday to book their place in the final of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup. The Tanzanian giants advanced 1-0 on aggregate following their first-leg victory in Zanzibar, with a disciplined defensive display proving enough to keep the South Africans at bay in Durban. Needing a win to overturn the deficit, Stellenbosch threw everything forward but could not find a way past an inspired Simba defence and goalkeeper Moussa Camara, who stood tall throughout a tense encounter. Stellenbosch came closest in the closing stages, with Fawaaz Basadien and Ismaël Touré both missing opportunities late in the game. Devin Titus and Sanele Barns also saw efforts narrowly miss the target as the hosts desperately searched for a breakthrough. Earlier, Stellenbosch thought they had taken the lead midway through the second half when Genino Palace found the back of the net, but VAR ruled the goal out for offside, dealing a heavy blow to Steve Barker's side. Simba, coached by Fadlu Davids, executed a near-perfect tactical plan, frustrating the South Africans and slowing down the game whenever necessary. They survived a number of scares in the final 10 minutes, including two late corners, but showed impressive composure to see out the result. The result continues Simba's dream of a first continental title since 1993 when they reached the final of the old CAF Cup, only to finish runners-up. The Msimbazi Reds will now face the winner of the other semi-final between CS Constantine of Algeria and Morocco's RS Berkane in the final. For Stellenbosch, it marks the end of a historic Confederation Cup campaign, their maiden voyage into continental football, which saw them reach the last four against all expectations. Simba will take confidence from their solid defensive resilience and will now shift focus to preparing for the final, where they hope to complete a memorable journey with silverware.
