Sipho Mbule scores a stunner for Bafana Bafana to beat Ghana by an odd goal in a morale-boosting victory ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations

Sipho Mbule's stunning goal for Bafana Bafana earned the national side a 1-0 victory in the friendly international ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.

This match was seen as a farewell or send off game for Bafana in front of the home crowd in Soweto.

And they did not disappoint.

Mbule won the ball in midfield, controlled it with his second touch and the third touch was when he used his laces to score from outside the box.

This goal send the crowd at Dobsonville Stadium into delirium as the Orlando Pirates midfielder unleashed his unpredictable nature of his game with aplomb.

It must be mentioned that this Ghana side is their CHAN squad and not their first choice team.

Be that as it may this win will go a long way in boosting their confidence for the 35th Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco.

Tomorrow they jet off to North Africa, where they have Angola, Egypt and Zimbabwe to face in their group.

On Monday they face Angola in their opening match of the spectacle.
