Bafana Bafana were held to a 1-1 draw against Ghana in their Africa Cup of Nations Group C clash on Thursday night, leaving both teams needing a result in the final game to qualify for the showpiece event.

Bafana looked to start fast and had a big chance with just 4 minutes as Thapelo Morena was picked out at the back post but he blasted his strike into the top outside netting.

Bafana didn’t take long to hit back as their star man Tau found the equaliser two minutes later as he got on the end of a through ball from Gamildien before calmly applying the finish.

Both sides traded half chances from that point on but netither did enough to claim the three points and had to settle for a draw. The result leaves Ghana sitting top of Group C, while Bafana will just need to avoid defeat against Sudan on Sunday to secure passage to next year's tournament
