France hold off South Africa after tactical gamble pays off
On Friday night, in a match at Orlando Stadium, South Africa's Benni McCarthy's Kenya secured a 2-2 draw against their countrymen. The result sent Group D of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying in turmoil. For 89 minutes, this match showcased South Africa's attacking prowess and Kenya's defensive vulnerabilities. The turning point arrived in the 90th minute when substitute Ryan Ogam scored a spectacular long-range goal, salvaging a point for Kenya and leaving Bafana Bafana with lingering questions despite leading the group.
South Africa, top of the group with seven points, will aim to capitalize on this setback, while Kenya, who have six points, will look to build on their resilient performance in their upcoming home match against Kenya on November 17.
