10-man Bafana thrashed by Mauritania

Cape Town - Bafana Bafana's AFCON 2017 qualification hopes lie in tatters after losing 3-1 to Mauritania on Saturday night.

Bafana Bafana trailed 1-0 at the break after Itumeleng Khune failed to hold onto a tame sixth minute free kick by Aly Abeide.

Abeide's free kick was hit straight at the newly-appointed Bafana Bafana captain and trickled into the South African goal.

The match played at the 10 000-seater capacity Stade Olympique de Nouakchott in warm temperatures and it was the hosts who settled down faster.

Bafana Bafana failed to handle the heat and the early pressure by Mauritania and Khune's howler meant Shakes Mashaba's men were left playing catch up.

The bumpy pitch made it difficult for a quick, free-flowing game and the South African midfield trio of Dean Furman, Thulani Serero and Andile Jali failed to get the side moving forward with any vigour.

The hosts relied on their physicality to ensure any threat from the visitors was quickly muted.

South Africa's best chance came when Serero put Tokelo Rantie through on goal but the Bournemouth-forward was ruled off-side.

The second half started off in similar fashion to the first as Siyabonga Zulu was sent off for a professional foul on his debut.

Bafana Bafana again struggled to increase the match tempo and Shakes Mashaba opted to haul off the ineffective Rantie and Furman for Mzikayise Mashaba and Bongani Zungu.

One of Zungu's first touches was a wild attempt to hit Thamsanqa Gabuza's cross into the net first time - his shot sailed well over the Mauritania goals.

Gabuza gave Bafana Bafana a lifeline in the 69th minute when he headed Anele Ngcongca's cross into the back of the net.

With the hosts on the back foot despite their numerical advantage, Bafana Bafana struggled to get their passing game in order.

The visitors were made to pay for wasting possession when Boubacar Beyguili sent the home crowd into hysterics as he outfoxed Eric Mathoho and slotted the ball past Khune.

Khune was again beaten in the 86th minute after terrible defending from several defenders including Mathoho and Rivaldo Coetzee. The Bafana Bafana centre-backs were bamboozled by Khalil Ahmed, who ended his solo run with a cool finish past Khune.

The loss left Shakes Mashaba stranded on 22 wins as Bafana Bafana coach - a record he shares with Clive Barker.

South Africa now sit bottom of Group M in their bid to qualify for the 2017 AFCON finals.

Bafana Bafana have little time to adjust as they travel back to South Africa to tackle Senegal in the Nelson Mandela Challenge match on September 8.

The loss was South Africa's first AFCON qualifer loss since September 2011.

Wow, that is a shocking result!

anyone got a link to video highlights - CAF's horrible website doesn't appear to host highlights
 
Can't even qualify for the African Nations Cup nevermind the World Cup.
Government should rather focus on why we get beaten by these tiny football countries than meddle in other successful sports

FIFA prohibit government interference in the running of football. What is needed is a disbandment of SAFA, raze the entire system and start over. The problem is that we have the same group of people running an employment agency for various cronies, family and friends at the expense of developing the game.

The only way government can help is if they can run an honest schools soccer program, but that too is mired is controversies because of SAFA
 
and then we go beat senegal is a friendly, no consistency.
 
What bothers me is what I heard Shakes saying on the radio yesterday. I am paraphrasing here, but he basically said all teams lose, even Arsenal lose three, four nil.

Ahh, not quite. Arsenal don't get humiliated by lower league sides, because with no disrespect to Mauritania, they are minnows and we had no business losing to them.

It does happen in cup competitions.

Two things bothered me. The first is that Shakes coached the Ke Yona team (a talent search team of amatuers) against Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday. I should have been with Bafana, even though it was a rest day.

The biggesr issue, he said that he didn't know that Bafana would play on an artifical pitch. How the **** do you not know that?!

At an international levels players should be much better prepared. Bafana trained on grass before that game. Unacceptable.

SAFA are an embarrassing mess. They have not improved from the days when they had Screamer send a fax to "Mr Celta Vigo" asking him to make Benny available for a Bafana match.
