AND. Johannesburg, the Ime Okon defense, which operates in the Hannover Germans, opened the marker at 30 minutes, with visitors re-establishing equality already in the second part, at 69, through the middle Seydouba Cissé, which plays at Al Kholood, Saudi Arabia.
But eight minutes later, Samukelo Kabini, defense of the Norwegian Mold, again gave the South Africans the advantage, who secured the victory and leadership of the three-point grouping.
Guinea Conakry is in the fourth and last post, without points, and Eritrea and Kenya, which have now tied 1-1 in Nairobi, occupy the second and third positions, respectively, with one point.
On the next journey, Paulo Duarte's leaders receive Kenya on Thursday, and Eritrea welcomes South Africa on the eve.
In the group phase there are 48 teams divided into 12 groups, with the first two ranked in each group ensuring a vacancy in the final phase of the African Nations Cup (CAN2027), with the exception of the three groups that count on hosts, Kenya (D), Tanzania (L) and Uganda (H), which are already established.
The final phase will take place from June 19 to July 17, 2027, the first time the competition has had three organizing countries.
