Banyana's destiny in their hands
@CAFWomen / X Banyana Banyana remain unbeaten in the group stage, with four points from a 2-0 win over Ghana and a 1-1 draw with Tanzania. Their final group clash against Mali will determine whether they face hosts Morocco or Senegal in the last eight. Morocco, Nigeria and Zambia have already secured quarter-final spots, with one matchday left to decide the remaining berths. South Africa's women's national team, Banyana Banyana, progressed to the quarter-finals even before their final group game against Mali on Monday night, thanks to results involving host nation Morocco. Banyana currently sit on four points from a 2-0 victory over Ghana and a 1-1 draw with Tanzania. Mali, also on four points, lead Group C due to goal difference, while Ghana and Tanzania remain on one point each. This ensures South Africa cannot finish lower than second in the group, guaranteeing their spot in the next round. In Group A, Morocco and Zambia each registered 1-0 victories over Senegal and the DR Congo, respectively, to wrap up the group stage. Morocco topped the group with seven points, with Zambia advancing as runners-up on the same tally. Senegal finished third with three points. Meanwhile, Group B saw Nigeria secure the top spot with seven points after a goalless draw against Algeria, who finished as runners-up. Botswana's 2-1 victory over Tunisia earned them third place and a chance to qualify for the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams. Quarter-finals outlook Monday's matches will determine the remaining three quarter-finalists. With Nigeria already set to face Zambia in the last eight, the pairing for the remaining three fixtures depends on the final standings. Banyana Banyana face a pivotal decision: A group-topping result against Mali would enable them to avoid a clash with hosts Morocco, whom they met in the last Wafcon final, and instead face Senegal. To achieve this, Banyana must avoid defeat against Mali on Monday night, with both teams currently tied on four points. Kickoff between the African champions and Mali is at 9pm South African time.
