9 September 2018 – Despite dropping two points following a goalless draw against Libya in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 8 September, Bafana Bafana remain second in Group E with four points after two matches.

In third place is Nigeria with three points after they walloped the Seychelles 3-0, also on Saturday at the Stade Linite, Victoria in Seychelles.

The Super Eagles, who lost their opening clash 2-0 to South Africa, revived their campaign with goals from Ahmed Musa, Chidozie Awazeim and Odion Ighalo.

This is the second loss for the Islanders as they were thumped 5-1 by Libya in the first round of fixtures.

Bafana Bafana next face the Seychelles in back to back matches in next month, while Nigeria and Libya will also do the same.

South Africa will host the first clash on Saturday, 13 October, followed by the second match on Tuesday, 16 October away in Seychelles.
