Despite ending their dreary run of form with Tuesday's comeback win against Angola, Shakes Mashaba feels his South Africa side still have problems to solve going into their clash with Mauritius.
Mashaba saw his side fight back from a goal down to end a six-match winless run in Cape Town - Thamsanqa Gabuza's equaliser the first South African goal in four outings.
Victory against Mauritius over two legs will see them face Swaziland or Angola for a place at the competition in Rwanda.
While Mashaba was pleased to his side get back to winning ways, the Bafana Bafana coach is not getting carried away ahead of the visit of Mauritius to the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto.
"Even though we scored two goals and won the game, the problem of finishing was still evident but this was a good preparation match for our upcoming game against Mauritius," Mashaba told reporters.
"It gave us more or less of the same of what to expect even though not at the same level in terms of skills and attacking football.
"Our boys did very well and we are very happy about the outcome, the victory was what we were looking for and it came at the right time."
While South Africa were disappointing in their goalless AFCON qualification opener against Gambia, Mauritius were hammered 7-1 by Ghana in Accra.
The likes of Patosi, Thulani Serero and May Mahlangu will all return to their clubs with Mashaba set to call up players in their place.
