Uganda Cranes tailed 1-0 to South Africa at halftime in the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers at Orlando Stadium, Johannesburg.

Lyle Foster’s goal is still the difference at the end of the first 45 minutes in an end to the game in front of a loud crowd.

Bafana Bafana is still in control of the game thanks to the telepathic combination of Teboho Mokoena, Sphephelo Sithole, and Themba Zwane.

South Africa has had several chances to put the ball in the back of the net, but Uganda Cranes custodian Isima Watenga has been a stand-out player.

Despite Watenga’s great reflex on the day, Foster poked the ball past the custodian to give Bafana Bafana the well-deserved lead.

Moments later, South Africa nearly extended their lead through Oswin Apollis, but the forward put to was a glorious opportunity.

Paul Put and his charges will take the fight in the second half as they seek to restore parity in an unfamiliar territory.
