Stern test for Bafana tonight

Bafana Bafana is faced with the mammoth task of winning their first match in the Africa Cup of Nations when they take on Senegal in Kumasi, Ghana this evening. South Africa needs to score at least three goals without conceding any, if they are to proceed to the next round of the tournament.

They also need Tunisia to beat Angola in the other Group D match if they are to go through. Bafana Bafana captain Aaron Mokoena says the loss to Tunisia is a thing of the past and they are now focusing on the Senegal match.

Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Parreira says his team must concentrate from the first whistle and avoid the situation of always chasing the game after conceding a goal.
