Broos Names Strong Bafana Starting XI vs Congo - iDiski Times

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has made one change with Iqraam Rayners replacing Lyle Foster in attack for their 2025 AFCON Qualifier second leg clash against Congo Brazzaville at the Alphonse Massemba-Débat Stadium this evening.

South Africa showed no mercy to the Congolese in a one-sided first leg affair at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Friday, running out convincing 5-0 victors.

Hugo Broos’ men occupy second spot in Group K behind leaders Uganda who beat minnows South Sudan 1-0 to also keep their undefeated run in the qualifying campaign intact.

With a win today, Bafana would move to 10 points from four games and open a seven-point gap to Congo Brazzaville, ultimately booking their ticket for next year’s AFCON.

Here’s how both sides line up:

Bafana Starting XI: Williams (c), Dortley, Kekana, Mudau, Modiba, Mokoena, Aubaas, Appollis, Zwane, Rayners, Mokwana
