South Africa Form

South Africa defeated Comoros 3-1 in their Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup semi-final clash mid-week to reach their first final since 2021.

South Africa took the lead after eight minutes of play when a Comoros player scored an own goal and extended their advantage six minutes later before Comoros pulled a goal back in the 30th minute of the match.

South Africa scored a third goal against Comoros 15 minutes into the second half to secure the victory.

Before that result, Bafana Bafana lost their opening group stage match 1-0 to Mozambique before beating Zimbabwe 2-0 and drawing 0-0 against Mauritius.
