Bafana Bafana were held to a 2-2 draw by Kenya’s Harambee Stars in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Orlando Amstel Arena in Soweto on Friday evening.
Bafana took an early lead after Amos Emmanuel Wanjala put the ball past his teammate and goalkeeper, Byrne Omondi Odhiambo, in the ninth minute Wanjala was put under pressure by Relebohile Mofokeng.
Thabang Matuludi handled the ball inside the box and Harambee Stars skipper, Michael Oguda Olunga, made no mistake as he beat Bafana goalkeeper and captain, Ronwen Williams, from the spot kick to make it 1-1 just before the half-time break.
Mofokeng, who plays for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, restored Bafana’s lead in the 77th minute.
Ryan Wesley Rabok Ogan worked his socks off before he equalised for the Harambee Stars when he beat Williams with a grass cutter in the dying minutes of the match.
