Watch the highlights as a Percy Tau double fired Bafana Bafana to a 2-1 win over Libya, securing their spot at the 2019 African Cup of Nations finals in the process.
Stuart Baxter’s chargers knew that only a draw was needed to secure their spot at the finals to be held in Egypt in June this year.
After a tight goalless first half, Tau fired his side into the lead with a stunning strike in the 50th minute.
Libya, however, hit back in the 66th minute as Ahmad Benali smashed home from the penalty spot.
