Last night, Bafana Bafana gave fans a treat at the Free State Stadium with a great performance as they beat Zimbabwe 3-1 in a scintillating 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.
Hugo Broos’ charges made their intentions quiet early in the game when Iqraam Rayners scored the match’s opening goal inside the first minute.
However, visitors from Zimbabwe responded a minute later when Tawanda Chirewa scored the equalizer, putting a damper on the celebrations momentarily. The two teams went into the break still deadlocked at 1-1.
Bafana returned with more purpose in the second half, and substitute Thapelo Morena regained the lead with his strike in the 55th minute.
Morena put the game beyond the visitors when he scored his second of the night and the third for Bafana Bafana when he scored in the 76th minute.
Bafana are now second in qualifying for FIFA World Group C with seven points. They are level on points with group leaders Rwanda due to goal difference.
