South Africa recorded the biggest shocker in the 2023 AFCON as they knocked out the best-rated national team in Africa, Morocco earlier today, January 30.
Most football enthusiasts thought Morocco would bring the same form to the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast but they couldn’t do as much as expected.
At the Stade de San Pédro, the Moroccan side faced a resilient South African side who were determined to do the unthinkable and successfully achieved their aim in style.
They both played a goalless draw in the first half which made the second half more intense but the South African side held their own throughout the game.
The South African team maintained the slim lead throughout the regulation time and got a big boost when Morocco’s Sofyan Amrabat was shown the red card in the 94th minute.
A minute later, Teboho Mokoena doubled the lead for the Bafana Bafana as the game ended 2-0 in favour of South Africa.
