The match was at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape last night.

Despite this impressive win, Uganda temporarily retains the group leadership due to their head-to-head advantage, having held SA to a 2-2 draw at Orlando Stadium last month.

However, Bafana Bafana boast a superior goal difference. This was Bafana Bafana’s biggest win since readmission to international football.

After the second goal that Teboho Mokoena scored in the 27th minute fans nearly spoilt the game.

Mokoena, who was named man of the match, opened the scoring for the home side as early as then 12th minute.

It was three-nil at the break after Bathusi Aubaas scored another goal.

Lyle Foster and substitute Iqraam Rayners scored Bafana Bafana’s two more goals in the second half.

The two teams will meet again in the return leg in Brazzaville on Tuesday.
