One change to Bafana Bafana line-up for Congo return tie

Published on by

Bafana Bafana have made only one change to their line-up from the previous match as they are set to take on Congo Brazzaville in the 2025 AFCON qualifier.

Hugo Broos brought in Iqraam Rayners, replacing Lyle Foster, who sustained an injury during the encounter against the Red Devils on Friday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

Foster was removed from the field on a stretcher following a collision with the opposing goalkeeper. He has since returned to Burnley FC for early rehabilitation.  

Bafana need maximum points to secure a place in the next year’s AFCON, while this match represents a final opportunity for Congo to keep their hopes of participating in the continental tournament alive.
