A difficult task awaits South Africa in the second leg of the African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier against Malawi after the Bafana Bafana lost to the Flames 1-0 at Bingu National Stadium, Lilongwe on Saturday.
The hosts found the winner on 89 minutes.
The South African team, coached by Molefi Ntseki, was a mixture of experienced players with exciting youngsters.
Ntseki’s starting line-up had the well-known names in the Premier Soccer League such as Kwanda Mngonyama, Wade Jooste, Kegan Johannes, Tebogo Potsane, Sammy Seabi and goalkeeper Mondli Mpoto.
The two nations failed to break each other’s defence in both halves of the clash in Malawi.
Malawi will come to South Africa in an advantageous position as a draw away would be enough for them to go through.
The second leg will be played at Loftus Stadium, Pretoria on Sunday, May 11.
