2022 World Cup qualifiers: South Africa move to top of Group G after stunning Black Stars

The Bafana Bafana of South Africa have moved to the top of Group G standings following their home win against Ghana.

After being held to a goalless drawn game against Zimbabwe, Hugo Broos men returned to winning ways on Monday afternoon.

The Black Stars of Ghana tasted defeat in the second group game of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

South Africa striker, Bongokuhle Hlongwane scored the only goal on the 83rd minute.

Ghana started the game lively despite without six keep players and threatened to get on the scoresheet very early in the game.

Bafana Bafana when they found their rhythm dominated possession and threatened on multiple occasions.

Percy Tau thought he had broken the deadlock but he was flagged offside after heading the ball into the back of the net.

South Africa started the second half with intent and went close once again after a huge error by Richard Ofori almost saw Makgopa punish the Black Stars but his effort narrowly missed the target

However, South Africa will have their goal finally as Bongokuhle Hlongwane broke the deadlock in the dying minutes of the game to hand Ghana its first defeat of the 2022 World Cup qualifying series.

The Black Stars now sit 2nd in Group G with 3 points with South Africa now topping the group with 4 points.

Ghana will play Zimbabwe in their next group game in October.
