Watch the highlights as a late Moubarak Boussoufa goal helped guide Morocco to a 1-0 win over Bafana Bafana, leaving the South Africans to wait on other results before knowing their Africa Cup of Nations future.
Stuart Baxter’s team came into the game knowing that a draw or win would seal their spot in the knockout stages of the competition.
Despite showing some positive intent at times, Bafana struggled to break down the well-organised Moroccans mustering just the one shot on target in the 90 minutes.
Calamity then struck late on in the encounter just when it looked as though a draw was going to be the outcome. The South Africans failed to clear their lines following a late free kick into the box, the ball fell at the feet of Boussoufa who made no mistake in smashing home his volley.
Goal by Morocco in the 89th by Mubarak.
Heartbreak for @BafanaBafana
1-0#AFCON2019— Bafana Bafana (@BafanaBafana) July 1, 2019
Bafana still have a chance of progressing to the last 16 of the tournament, but will need the results to go their way if they are to qualify as one of the highest-ranked teams who finished in third place.
Bafana will be hoping that Cameroon can overcome Benin and Ghana would have too much for Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday, and will undoubtedly be waiting with bated breath for the outcomes of the final group games.
