It was a real roller-coaster of a match but well played Bafana Bafana, and thanks for sharing the action with us. Liberia win a throw-in in line with the Bafana six-yard box, the ball being header on and somehow deflected away for a corner… Liberia loft a long ball through to the Bafana box, but the back header intended for Williams goes straight out for a Liberia for a corner. A high ball is lofted deep to the back of the box, Adukor controls and pushes the ball to the right to open up a shot, but he goes to ground inside the box, but the referee has no interest… Liberia pressing hard in the middle of the pitch to gain possession… 1-1; Williams dives full-length to get a hand to the ball, but between the power of the shot and the bounce off the surface the ball finds its way into the back of the net for the equaliser! Liberia with a corner from the left wing… Bafana have the overlap, the ball is passed through from Tau to Morena, inside the box, unmarked, but he takes too long and a defender slides in and his kick loops over the bar, possibly deflected off the defender, but… 0-1; The striker is released into the Liberian box thanks to a lovely pass from Morena… Percy Tau with a good ball through into the box… It is extremely important for Bafana Bafana to secure a victory tonight, as only the top two teams in each group will progress. That leaves tonight's match as a crucial for one of these sides to win to get the edge when it comes to qualifying.

It's do-or-die for Bafana Bafana as the team finds itself in a tight-spot to keep the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualification dream.

[For the latest sport news from Sunday World, click here. The Atlas Lions will be a tough side to defeat, as they had a historic run in the 2022 Fifa World Cup when they defeated Belgium, Span, Portugal and recently Brazil in an international friendly. It’s do-or-die for Bafana Bafana as the team finds itself in a tight-spot to keep the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualification dream alive when it clashes with Liberia at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex, Monrovia on Tuesday at 6pm.

South Africa qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals after defeating Liberia 2-1 in Tuesday's encounter.

South Africa will make their return to the Afcon finals in Ivory Coast having failed to qualify for the 2021 edition in Cameroon. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Broos' side qualified for the Afcon finals with a game to spare which is against Morocco in June this year. He opened the scoring to hand South Africa a much-needed goal to settle the nerves and he has now netted two goals in his last three matches for Bafana.

Goals from Zakhele Lepasa and Mihlali Mayambela secured South Africa a spot in a first Afcon tournament since 2019.

You needed to wait until to the final whistle to be 100% sure Bafana Bafana had beaten Liberia 2-1 to qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

But just as South Africa started to look in control they again took their eyes off the ball by allowing Lone Stars captain Jebor to take a shot from outside the area. A player he's barely played a match without before the game in Orlando, Nyiko Mobbie, returned to take Thapelo Morena's place at right-back. But Sithole's presence in midfield helped as he won a lot of possession. Bafana can also still reach seven points if they beat Morocco in their last qualifier at home in June. Morena was pushed into attack on the right-wing in the place of Themba Zwane. Bafana will, however, still go through on Caf’s head-to-head ruling from their results against the Liberians.
