Ghana extinguish SA’s faint hopes of reaching quarterfinals

Shakes Mashaba was wearing his lucky shirt, but the Bafana Bafana coach will have to do his laundry at home in South Africa after his side failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations in Mongomo, Equatorial Guinea, last night.

Although they had been the talk of the town throughout, thanks to their attacking play, they were again let down by not finding the back of the net when they so desperately needed to.

Ghana came from behind to beat Bafana 2-1 and book their place in the quarterfinals as runners-up in Group C, while South Africa finished bottom of the group.
