Everything went smoothly and confidently.
Details: Today, Bafana Bafana delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Lesotho in the seventh round of Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
By the 16th minute, Nkota was on hand at the far post to finish a cross and open the scoring.
The teams went into halftime with Hugo Broos' side holding a slender lead. But after the break, South Africa struck twice in just four minutes: in the 63rd minute, Foster doubled Bafana's advantage, and four minutes later Oswin Appollis made it a rout—0:3.
As a result, Bafana Bafana now sit atop Group C. Trailing behind are Benin, Rwanda, Nigeria, Lesotho, with Zimbabwe currently anchoring the table.
