SPORT: Bafana revive world cup dreams

Bafana Bafana kept their World Cup 2018 dream alive on Saturday with an excellent display in a 3-1 Group D victory over Burkina Faso at FNB Stadium.

Stuart Baxter’s side still need to beat Senegal home-and-away next month and hope other results go their way, if they are to top the group and make it to Russia, but some hope has been restored after the two defeats to Cape Verde in September, The Citizen reported.

In front of a poor attendance at FNB Stadium, it took just 48 seconds for Bafana to take the lead. A Sifiso Hlanti long throw was flicked goalwards by Percy Tau, and bounced off a post, with Stallions goalkeeper Herve Koffi palming the ball away. Cameroonian referee Alioum Alioum, however, ruled that the ball had crossed the line, giving Bafana the perfect start.
